Jolene Sartori passed away peacefully at Castleview Hospital on October 21, 2022. She was 78. She was born March 10, 1944, in Salt Lake City, Utah to Stanley Vernon Hunter and Leah Petersen Hunter.

Married Brent Verl “Duke” Sartori in November 1963; they had three children and later divorced.

Jolene’s heart was in the Castle Country. Jolene spent her summers there with family and was excited to move from SLC to Emery County and then later to Carbon County to live out her life. Jolene’s adult children relocated to be closer to her a few years later.

Jolene loved to crochet, and she put her love into each of her gifts. She made everyone in the family and extended family afghans, baby blankets, and toys, and loved to give others the gifts she had made. Over the years she won first place and “Best of Show” ribbons in the county fair and a “Judges Choice” award in the Utah State Fair.

Jolene lived for her fur babies and would adopt anything that barked or meowed. Her family joked that she loved her fur babies more than her human babies!

Jolene would drive her family crazy with her old shows, oldies music, and bad jokes and could clear a room with her “singing.” When her children were young, she would say that, “At night when I sang to them, they would go to sleep out of self-defense.”

Jolene had an unwavering testimony in our Heavenly Father and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We all know there was an amazing reunion in heaven when mom was called home.

Jolene is survived by her three children, Michael Sartori (Huntington), Debbie Sartori (Helper), and Kathy Bay (Price); brother, Paul (June) Hunter (Cedar Hills); son-in-law, Jon Rosvall (Helper); grandchildren, Alicia Allred (WA), Cameron and Kristina Sartori (Helper), Ashlee Sartori (Tooele), Matthew and JoJo Sartori (Price), Cherokee and Marcus Carlucci (Helper), Stacey and Cory Overton (WY); great-grandchildren, Maisin Boyer, Aspynn Jones, Idyn Jones, Arianna Carlucci, and Isabelle Sartori; five nieces, many great, and great-great nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by her parents; stepmother, Willberta “Bille” Hunter; ex-husband, Brent Sartori; son-in-law, Louis Bay; great-granddaughter, Abigail Sartori; and many good friends, and fellow jokesters.

The family would like to say thank you to Blue-Tern Home Heath, CNS, Dr. Gagon, and Dr. Valdez for the care they gave to Jolene over the past several years.
