Carilee Hartley Braegger, 65, passed away Friday November 20, 2020 at Bear Lake Memorial Hospital in Montpelier, ID. She was born to John Alma and Nina Randall Hartley on February 7, 1955 in Nyssa, OR. She grew up in Rupert, ID and Clearfield, UT. She attended Clearfield High School and Weber State. She married Neil Lynn Braegger on September 26th, 1975 in the Ogden LDS Temple. They spent most of their married life living in Willard, UT, where she was active in the community serving in the PTA and helping with many community events.

She served in many different callings such as Primary President, Seminary Teacher, Primary Teacher, Relief Society Presidency, Cub Scout and Girls Camp leader. Throughout her life she worked as a daycare provider, cashier, receptionist, lunch lady, and in tax preparation. However, her favorite work was in the home being a mother and grandmother. 

Carilee enjoyed ceramics, calligraphy, crafting, cooking, and cake decorating. She loved spending time in the mountains, hiking, biking, riding four wheelers, and camping with friends and family. She especially loved her drives to the cabin and searching for wildlife everywhere she went.
