1980~2020

MT. PLEASANT–JoAnn Hansen Forsyth, 39, of Mt. Pleasant, Utah, passed away on June 18, 2020, unexpectedly at her home.

JoAnn was born Dec. 11, 1980, in Mt. Pleasant, Utah, to William Tim Hansen and Alene Wahlin. She married Kaylon Benjamin Forsyth on April 13, 2013, in Provo, Utah. She is a mother of two boys: Michael Blaire and Shane Vejraska.

She is the type of person who would give the shirt off her back to anyone in need. JoAnn always did whatever she could to help those in need. She had many dreams, some of which were to open a cat rescue shelter and a shelter for victims of domestic abuse as well as going to and finishing medical school.

She loved to cook and sew and especially loved spending time with her family. JoAnn was a naturally curious person; if she didn’t know the answer to something, she would dig and dig until she found it.

JoAnn is survived by her father, Tim (Daphene) Hansen; husband, Kaylon Forsyth; sons, Michael and Shane Vejraska; siblings: Bobbie Jo (James) Anderson, Brenda (Monte) Smith, Connie (Danny) Nay and Clayton (Shalina) Hansen; and two special nephews, Wesley and Koby. She was preceded in death by her mother, Alene Wahlin; mother-in-law, Karen Ferguson; brother-in-law, Adam Forsyth; and a nephew, Wesley.

The family will host a graveside service on Friday, July 10, 2020, at 11 a.m. in the Fairview City Cemetery. Online condolences may be shared at rasmussenmortuary.com.
