Carmen Patricia Barnell Larsen was born 20 March 1953 in Tillamook, Oregon, to William Neil and Carmen Gantenbein Barnell. Her parents had a dairy farm, and later leased a cafe in Nehalem, Oregon. She attended first grade in Nehalem where she was supposed to learn how to swim. When she was five years old however, she nearly drowned in the ocean and it gave her a fear of water. Her family came to Wyoming in 1960, when she was seven. They purchased the Buffalo Station and Cafe in Alpine and ran it until 1971. Patty attended school in Etna and Afton. She graduated in 1971, then completed a semester of Nursing training at Casper College, after which she married the love of her life in 1972. She was blessed with four children, of whom she joked, I have a beautiful daughter and three Eagle Scouts! Patty married Kevan Larsen on 4 February 1972, lived in Alpine for 4 years, then they helped her dad built their home together in Thayne, in 1977-78. She helped Kevan get out the logs for some of the house lumber, and other work on her home. She will forever be known for her extraordinary arts and crafts talent. She was an Artex dealer. She made hundreds of neckerchief slides for her Cub Scouts, with ingenious designs, materials and shapes. As and expert wedding cake maker for many years, she was a perfectionist, and never intimidated by fountains, huge cake designs, or specialty custom designs. Many a bride told her definitely million dollar quality, for a very inexpensive rate. Patty also accumulated over 75 specialty birthday cake pans, but used many to custom design cakes for specific people or occasions. Truly innovative. Patty spent over 35 years working in Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts in many positions, especially training other leaders. In 2004 she was awarded the Silver Beaver, to add to the plethora of other awards, recognition, and achievements. She was a Troop Guide for the BSA Woodbadge courses, and several men told her "I'd have never gotten my Beads if it wasn't for you!" Yes, she loved scouting, and even when boys were grown, they were still "her boys." She maintained one copy of each of the few hundred different neckerchief slides she made for each boy for their special meetings. As an expert seamstress, Patty won many blue & purple ribbons on her quilts. On short notice for a family reunion, she quilted a queen-size quilt, by herself, in one week –and her stitches were small, tight, and straight. She was a key component in the family's satellite TV business for 26 years, and obtained certification as an authorized Primestar and DirecTV installer. Patricia had a deep and abiding love for, and strong testimony of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and his Atonement. She served three senior missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, with her husband, each being eighteen months. First was a Military Relations assignment, as the first couple into Fort Stewart, Georgia in January 2007. Second was at the Los Angeles Family History Regional Library 2013-2014. Third was another Military Relations mission to Vicenza Army Base, Northern Italy. She was an absolute blessing to those military families, and she called it "Serving America's Best!" She had planned another mission, but her health would not allow it, as in June 2018 she was officially diagnosed with ALS – Lou Gehrig's Disease. She told everyone she'd had a wonderfully good life, and was very happy to be moving on. As of July 2018, she had attended 100 different LDS temples in 13 different countries. She is survived by her husband Kevan, in Thayne, sons Kevan Tory (Deborah) Honeyville, UT, Brenyun, Idaho Falls, Shilo Rose Alten (Nick) Idaho Falls, and Kent in Beulah, WY, four grandchildren, Kayden Larsen, Jaron Larsen, Kent Larsen Jr, and Soraya Larsen. Graveside services are scheduled for Saturday, 9 March 2019 at 12 Noon at the Thayne Community Cemetery. Viewings / Meet-and Greet will be held on Friday, 8 March from 6 to 9 PM, and again on Saturday from 10AM to 11:45AM at the Thayne Wyoming Stake Center. Tributes and memorials can be posted on the Schwab Mortuary web site.∼Sister Larsen was born Tillamook, Oregon, and her family moved to Alpine, in Star Valley Wyoming in 1960. Stake missionaries taught and baptized her and her parents. Nursing was her major in college, served as an EMT for 7 years, and later she was employed as a Certified Nurses Aide, caring for the newborns, for 8 years, at the local hospital in Afton. She married her childhood sweetheart in 1972, and was the mother of 1 daughter, 3 sons and 5 grandchildren.
Her service to the Boy Scouts of America, and Cub Scouts span almost 30 years. She is the recipient of The Silver Beaver and many BSA recognition awards, plus she served as a Woodbadge Troop Guide, District Cubmaster Trainer for 16 years, Roundtable Commissioner, Cubmaster of the year, Advancement Chairman, Council Pow-Wow Instructor, and Order of the Arrow Chapter Advisor.
As a member of Thayne Ward, and Thayne II Ward, she has previously served as a Gospel Doctrine teacher, Relief Society teacher & Pianist, Primary teacher, Nursery Leader, Genealogy instructor, Ward Chorister and YW teacher. She has been the Family Genealogist for the Larsen Family for many years, and at her own expense, put together a wonderful posterity book as a gift to family members. She is very talented with arts and crafts, and loves to tackle large quilting projects alone.
In 2007-2008, she served with her husband, on a Military Relations Mission to Fort Stewart, Ga. As the first Military Relations senior missionaries assigned at Fort Stewart, Sister Larsen was key & instrumental in organizing Family Home Evening groups, and with her husband, starting the programs that would serve those military families. She also helped to teach Institute each week at the Base Chapel. The cookouts that Larsens had at their homes, in Georgia and in Wyoming, were instrumental in fellowshipping and friendshipping.
The Larsens began their business in Satellite Television in January 1980 with the large C-Band dishes. They later handled the dealerships for Primestar , Directv, DishNetwork , and Direcway for the high-speed, wireless, internet dishes. He gave up this business in December 2006, prior to serving his first senior mission in Georgia.
Elder and Sister Larsen were the first Military Relations missionaries called to serve at Fort Stewart, Ga, as part of the Georgia Macon Mission in 2007-'08. As such, they pioneered and started the programs and procedures and procedures to bless the lives of military families and individual soldiers. Responsibilities there included activating and retaining LDS members at that permanent-duty-station post, and helping families of deployed service members. Proselyting is not authorized on military bases, however, they taught LDS Institute each week at the main Base Chapel, taught new member lessons in homes, organized Family Home Evening groups, and built bridges of understanding with Chaplains, Commanders, and the surrounding base community. They taught missionary discussions to on & off-post non-members and delivered Elder Larsen was able to Use his retired status, LD card, plus his rank and position (only as absolutely necessary) to assist many families with housing, medical, moving, legal, finance, and many associated problems. Elder and Sister Larsen taught the Temple Preparation course in the Hinesville Ward, and were blessed to accompany several couples / families to the temple-some within days of deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Since they returned "home" in June 2008, they've stayed involved in missionary efforts by their almost-weekly, Summer fellowshipping and friendshipping socials, complete with Dutch Oven dinners, at their large picnic area, adjacent to the Caribou National Forest in Star Valley, of Western Wyoming.
