- "Our Angel Mother, Launa Littlefield Street, passed away suddenly, but peacefully, while visiting family and friends in Mountain Home, Utah, on December 9, 2020. Although we were not ready to let her go, we know she is finally with her sweetheart after his death 19 years ago, and we know she is beyond happy to be with him.
Launa was born June 9, 1941, to Milt R. and Helen Loveless Littlefield, in Orem. She was raised and attended school in Orem, graduating from Orem High School. She attended Utah State University in Logan where she met the love of her life, Dee Street, on a blind date. They were married in the Manti Utah LDS Temple in March of 1961.
During their marriage, they welcomed three beautiful daughters, Chantel, Kimikae, and Jennifer, to their family. Then, finally, they were blessed with one handsome son, Jared Dee. They were so happy to have him and their family was complete.
Launa worked many jobs (Mohlman's Grocery Store, Duane Hall Trucking, Coastal Oil and Gas, St. George Ford) and she enjoyed every job, especially when it came to working with people. Launa loved people and wanted to make everyone feel loved and accepted. She was a social butterfly and loved the many associations she had and found many friends wherever she would go. She was strong, independent and didn't like to ask for help. She had a very strong work ethic and instilled that work ethic into her children. Mom loved to laugh! She loved a good joke and often looked to her brothers to provide the humorous stories and jokes, and they didn't disappoint.
Mom loved reading, crocheting, quilting, scrapbooking, and listening to music of all kinds. Mom crocheted countless baby blankets and bibs as well as making many quilts for family and friends. Each of her children received scrapbooks from her as did some of her grandchildren. They are priceless treasures! Music was important to mom and she frequently shared her love of music as she played the piano. She accompanied many musical numbers for funerals and other events and was the ward organist for many years. She also loved singing with her alto voice and longed to sing with the Tabernacle Choir. We know she is singing with the angels now.
In October of 2019, mom moved to an Assisted Living Facility–Spring Gardens of Mapleton. Although there were challenges with the pandemic, mom enjoyed being there. She loved the staff and found many dear friends in the residents. We would like to thank Spring Gardens for the love and compassion shown to mom while she was there.
She is survived by her children, Chantel (Kellis) Durrence of Mountain Home, Idaho, Kimikae (Corey) Jones of Payson, Jennifer (Stacy) Harbison of Mountain Home, Utah and Jared (Andrea) of Enterprise. Her posterity was the light of her life which included ten grandchildren: Caleb, Nicole, Cassie, Cheyenne, Caysen, Kayden, Sierra, Tyler, Jessica and Riggs; along with eight great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her siblings: Rick Littlefield, Brent Littlefield, Becky Sumner, Nyal Littlefield, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ivan Dee Street; her parents, Milt & Helen Littlefield; Dee's parents, Ivan & Lola Street; brother, Gary Littlefield; brothers-in-law, Jim Street and George Street; nephews, TJ Littlefield and Greg Littlefield; and niece, Talia Littlefield. What a joyous reunion it must have been!!
