Kara Kim Stevenson, 46, passed away Thursday, August 11, 2011 in Salt Lake City, Utah due to an extended illness. Kara was born in Seoul, Korea, raised in an orphanage, and adopted by Leonard and Shirley Jones in 1975 at the age of nine. She attended school in Anniston, AL, lived in Lucine, UT, and attended school in Grouse Creek, UT and Tremonton, UT. She married Mike Stevenson on June 1, 1990 and their marriage was later solemnized in the Ogden Utah Temple.

Her greatest joy and happiness was found in her children, Lindsay, Emily and Alex and her dogs, Patch and Ella. Kara was a fantastic cook and loved trying new recipes and sharing them with friends and family. She cared more about others than she did herself. She was small in person but large in spirit. She will be remembered for her optimistic attitude, sense of humor and concern for everyone she knew.

She is survived by her husband Michael, daughters Lindsay and Emily, her son Alex, mother Shirley Rae, sister Donna, multiple extended family and her beloved puppies Patch and Ella. She was preceded in death by her grandparents La Retta and Harold Smith and her uncle Larry Wakefield.
