Cami Jo Bunnell Oborn

May 2, 1977- June 27, 2011

Everyone’s favorite, Cami Jo Bunnell Oborn, 34, passed away in a tragic rafting accident on June 27, 2011. Cami was born May 2, 1977 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Mike and Toni Bunnell. Raised in a close knit, loving family who shared their lives and time together from childhood until the present day.

Cami graduated from Brighton High School in 1995 surrounded by a group of incredible girls who remain her closest BFFs to this day. She met Thom just before her senior year and has loved him as her best friend, sweetheart and adoring husband ever since. Along with their two darling boys they have established a family unit to be admired and emulated.

A dedicated member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Cami has served in many capacities, blessing countless people with her steadfast testimony and faith in Jesus Christ. She especially loved serving in the Young Women’s organization and cherished the strength and quality of the young women she dearly loved.

Cami was naturally drawn to the medical field by her innate sense of serving others and her nurturing spirit. She graduated from Certified Careers Institute as a Medical Assistant in 2005 where she later returned to work as an instructor. Cami was currently working at the Utah Heart Clinic and After Hours Medical where she diligently rendered care to her patients who were blessed not only with her knowledge and exceptional skills but her true compassion as well.

Cami loved the outdoors, appreciated nature and God’s creations with a reverence that will never be forgotten. Her happiest times were those spent at Scofield and Green Valley Ranch surrounded by those she loved, revered and appreciated most, her family.

Cami’s legacy will live on through her precious boys. Her beautiful smile, contagious laugh and pure unconditional love for all will be reflected in their eyes and through their spirits as they always remember their mom who loved and adored them.

Cami is survived by her husband, Thom Oborn, and two sons, Ashton and Duston. Parents: Mike and Toni Bunnell; sisters: Cindy (Scott) Warner, Chris (Jason) Halling; brother; Zach Bunnell; grandparents: Louis and Jo Bunnell; loving in-laws; Clark & Carolyn Oborn & Family, nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
