Cecelia Barbara Fairholm

December 10, 1933 ~ September 4, 2026

With great sadness, we share that Cecelia Barbara Faiholm passed away on September 4, 2026. Born on December 10, 1933, Barbara always dreamed of having a large, loving family. After she married the love of her life, Rulon Fairholm, on January 18 1952, they would eventually have five children and settle in Orem, Utah. Throughout her life, Barbara was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother to the large family that she had hoped for.

Barbara was funny and kind, even if she’d be the first to remind you that she had a bit of a temper. She was a doting grandmother, or “grammie,” to her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and countless neighborhood kids she would visit with on her walks. She will be remembered for many things, but perhaps most especially the handmade Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls that she made for her grandchildren. She was a talented sewist, avid reader, and enjoyed volunteering with her church.

She was preceded in death by her husband, daughter Susan, and sons David and Timothy. Barbara leaves behind her daughter Diana (Paul) and son Kenny (Sandy), 15 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren, and 8 great-great-grandchildren.
