Meridee Paulson

1958 ~ 2025

Meridee Paulson, age 66, returned to her loving Heavenly Father on January 4, 2025.

She was born on April 7, 1958 to Lynn M. and Nola C. Paulson in Provo, Utah.

She started her life with multiple mental and physical problems. She has spent many years at the American Fork Developmental Center. She has always been a very happy child and brought sunshine and happiness to others. She was loved by so many.

Her favorite thing to do with her parents was to go to the Orem City Mall. She loved to wave at all the people and loved babies and children the most. Another favorite thing was the dance on Wednesday nights when the youth groups would come in and have a “dance” party with all those in her building.

She loved the many visits that her family made to see and be with her every week. She was a happy child and brought sunshine and happiness to others.

Meridee is survived by her parents, Lynn and Nola Paulson, her sisters; Julie (Dean) Broadbent, Jill (Royal) Eccles of Ogden, Utah and her brother Christopher Paulson of Alpine, Utah.

We sincerely thank those at the Developmental Center for their genuine love and concern for her for these many years, they are very special, and Meridee loved them. Meridees’ family expresses special thanks for all the bright sunny days you provided her.

Funeral services for Meridee will be held on Friday, January 10, 2025 at 11:00 am in the Utah State Developmental Center Ward Chapel, (A-Frame Chapel adjacent to the Developmental Center) located at 895 North 900 East, American Fork, Utah. Family and friends are invited to attend a visitation on Friday morning from 10:00-10:45 am prior to service at the church.
