It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Justine Laney, a beloved daughter, sister, friend, and cherished member of the West Jordan community.
Justine passed away peacefully on July 17, 2025, at the young age of 35. Her sudden departure has left a profound void in the lives of those who knew and loved her.
Born in 1990, Justine brought light and warmth into the world from the very beginning. She was raised in West Jordan, Utah, where she attended local schools and built a life filled with compassion, kindness, and grace.
A woman of immense heart and gentle strength, Justine was known for her infectious laugh, her unwavering loyalty to her loved ones, and a deeply nurturing spirit that touched the lives of many.
Many who crossed her path remember her for her comforting words, generous nature, and the way she never hesitated to help someone in need.
Justine was especially devoted to her family. She was a loving daughter who maintained a close bond with her parents, and a caring sister whose support and friendship were constant. Her family was the cornerstone of her life, and she cherished every moment spent together, from quiet nights at home to family celebrations filled with laughter and shared memories.
Friends describe Justine as someone who radiated warmth and sincerity. She had a circle of close friends who leaned on her in times of hardship and rejoiced with her in moments of joy. Her kindness extended beyond words—it was evident in her actions, in her unwavering presence during difficult times, and in the way she lived with intentional kindness and empathy.
In addition to her personal relationships, Justine contributed meaningfully to her community. She often volunteered at local shelters and was passionate about causes related to mental health and children’s welfare. She believed in the importance of giving back, and she lived those values daily, not for recognition, but because it was who she was.
Though her life was tragically cut short, Justine’s legacy endures in the countless lives she touched. She will be remembered not only for her gentle soul and compassionate heart but also for the courage and grace with which she lived her life. In mourning her loss, we also celebrate the beautiful example she set for all who knew her.
Justine Laney is survived by her loving family, her mother, Stacie Robinson; her daughters, Aubree Marie and Makayla Jo Hooper; and her brothers, Tyrel Brian and Chance Weldon Meader, family and a wide circle of friends who will miss her dearly.
Funeral arrangements will be announced by the family in the coming days. As we grieve, we hold tight to our memories of Justine and the love she so freely gave.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.
