Brother Jay Pierce (Local 265, Pocatello, Idaho) is dealing with an unimaginable tragedy after losing his daughter, Kaylanee Orr, in a hunting accident last week.
Just 21 years old, Kaylanee was a young woman of deep faith who held her family at the center of her life.
An avid mug collector, fall lover, and travel enthusiast, Kaylanee touched many lives, especially during her time spent humbly serving as a missionary for her church in Hamilton, New Zealand.
Out of her many interests and hobbies, her favorite activity was hunting with her dad.
Kaylanee is survived by a host of family, friends, and loved ones who will miss her kind spirit and warm personality.
Visitation will take place tomorrow (Friday, October 17) from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Hawker Funeral Home in Blackfoot, Idaho. An additional visitation is scheduled for Saturday, October 18, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the Blackfoot Northwest Stake Center, followed by the funeral service at 11:00 a.m.
An online fundraiser has been set up to help the Pierce family cover Kaylanee’s funeral expenses and other needs during this time.
