Sandra Gayle Charlson

Following a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer, Sandra Gayle Charlson passed away at home on August 23 at the age of 61 with her family at her side.



She will be dearly missed by her husband Christopher Lant, her daughters Hannah and Helen Lant, her brother David Charlson, her extended family, members of the Department of Art and Design at Utah State University, members of the Unitarian Universalist Congregations in Carbondale, Illinois and Logan, Utah, and many, many others whose lives she touched. As all can attest, Sandy had a natural ability to enrapture others with her joyous presence. She was predeceased by her parents Earl and Gladys Charlson.



An online service will be held Saturday, August 29th, 2020, at 6pm Mountain, 7pm Central (Daylight Time), livestreamed on the Carbondale Unitarian Facebook page. When the pandemic has subsided, an in-person Celebration of Life will be held at Carbondale Unitarian Fellowship in Illinois.
