Cristene Joyce Staley, age 45, was welcomed home into the arms of so many loved ones on August 14, 2023 in Orangeville, Utah.

Cristene was born May 11, 1978 in Price, Utah to Victor and Joyce Staley. She was the oldest of the three kids and boy did she let her siblings know it. She loved to boss, it didn’t matter who it was, you would know exactly what her thought and opinion on the subject was.

Early on in life Cristene found a love of all animals, especially her dogs. She would take them with her on the many car rides around town. Most days if you needed her, you would find her on her brother’s farm helping in any way needed or driving to check the cows right after she got her Mountain Dew and Doughnut from Food Ranch.

Cristene had a deep love for her brother, sister, and sister-in-law, but no one could compete with her four nieces and two nephews. She would stand up for them, or put them in their place, whichever was needed. She loved to send the latest song or funny TikTok to whoever she thought would enjoy them.

Cristene was a giver; she was always finding ways to help others. She helped to take care of her grandparents and would help her dad with anything he needed or didn’t need.

Cristene is survived by her parents, Victor and Joyce; her brother and sister-in-law, Eric and Melissa; her sister, Rachel; and nieces and nephews, Ansley, Molly, Dallas BraceLee, Brayden, and Kenslee. As well as aunts, uncles, many cousins, and close friends.

Preceded in death by her grandparents, Van and Georgia Gardner and Wayne and Delsie Staley; her uncle, Darrell (Tigger) Gardner; cousins, Jason Jones and Jill Gardner; along with other great-grandparent’s, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
