I was lucky enough to meet her while volunteering and running projects at the Lowell Bennion Center when I was going to school at the University of Utah.
She passed away yesterday.
She was one of my heroes..... she lived a remarkable life filled with service.

Thayne's family says her life was marked by helping everyone who she came in contact with feel important, whether it was her hair dresser, the president of a college, or somebody at a gas station.
"Her whole essence was people, and just living life to the fullest every second of every day," Thayne's daughter, Shelley Rich, said.
