| About | Obituary: Carrie Lyn Young Baltes Died: April 22, 2004 Carrie Lyn Young Baltes, loving mother of Daniel and Rachel and dear wife of Paul, passed away Thursday, April 22, 2004, in her favorite green nightgown. Carrie, 32, was an example of courage and strength to her family, her many friends and close neighbors. Carrie was born to Beth and Russ Young on August 8, 1971 and was raised in Piedmont, California. She married Paul Baltes of New York, NY, in the Oakland LDS Temple on May 6, 1995. Carrie graduated from Piedmont High School in 1989 and was proud to be from the Bay Area. She earned a bachelor's degree in 1993 and a master's degree in 1997 from Brigham Young University. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she was employed at the Children's Justice Center and Wasatch Mental Health in Provo. Carrie's greatest joy was being a mother. She was a gentle, patient, and playful parent, and savored every moment she spent with her children. She greeted each day as an adventure and an opportunity to help her children grow. She was happiest when her family was together. Carrie was an avid reader and enjoyed participating in various book groups. Some of her favorite activities were quilting, scrapbooking and spending time with family and friends. She was genuinely interested in others and will be remembered for her humor, compassion and wisdom. She was wonderful. Carrie loved and appreciated her doctors, nurses and other healthcare professions who did so much to enable her to live richly during her battle with cancer. She admired and was most grateful for the tender care and companionship of her husband, Paul, who did so much to support and strengthen her. Carrie is survived by her husband and best friend, Paul, their two children and her step-daughter, Kara; her parents, Beth and Russ Young; her brothers and sisters, Spencer (Gage), Megan (Brad) Palfreyman, Jamie (Justin) Martin, Jordan; and grandmother Joyce Young.
