Elle's Obituary

Isabelle Marie Evans

Isabelle “Elle” Marie Evans, 4, of Highland, Utah, died on Wednesday, February 8, 2012, as a result of injuries sustained in an accident.

Elle was born on November 6, 2007, in Sandy, Utah, the sixth child of Rob and Lorenne Briner Evans. She was as entertaining as she was beautiful. She loved to rock out to music with her big sisters, slide down the stairs with her brothers in sleeping bags, pose for the camera, toss her hair back from her face and purse her glossed-up lips, throw things when she was mad, rummage through Aunt Meme's purse for gum and lip glosses, give her dad alphabet-long foot rubs, and suck her thumb as she smelled the tags on her blankies at bedtime. She figured Aunt Megan’s high heels were perfect attire for jumping on the trampoline and wanted to always be modest when she played dress-up. She would sing "I Love to See the Temple" or "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang to her mom on their bike rides around Alpine, and she planned for her and her friend Sienna to marry Justin Bieber. She had that Muhammad Ali "I'm the greatest" kind of attitude, and she was. Her family was crazy about her.

As a last gift of her life, Elle donated her kidney.

Elle is survived by her father, Rob, her mother, Lorenne, her sisters, McKenzie and Mia, her brothers, Getty, Cy, and Cam, and other extended family. She is predeceased by her grand-père, Michael Ned Briner, and her great-grandparents. 

Funeral services: Monday, February 13th, at 11:00 a.m. at the Highland West Stake Center, 11605 N. 6000 W. Highland, Utah. Viewing: Sunday, February 12th, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the Warenski Funeral Home, 1776 N. 900 E. American Fork and at the Highland West Stake Center on Monday at 9:30 a.m. prior to funeral services.

Thank you to all who have showed such love and concern for Elle and her family. Elle’s message to us, “My life is a gift; my life has a plan.*”
