Preston, Idaho - - - Angelica D. Esplin

Preston - Angelica Dawn Esplin, 14, passed away on Wednesday, March 9, 2011 at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was born on September 18, 1996 in Preston, Idaho to Cleve and Sylvia Fullmer Esplin. Angelica has returned to her Heavenly Home where she is surrounded by those who love her and who she loves just as she was loved here in her earthly home. We were blessed and privileged to have her in our lives for 14 wonderful years. She taught us many things about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She loved and cared about people with all her heart. Her hugs and inquisitive personality made everyone around her feel better. We will miss her deeply.

Angelica loved school and socializing with her teachers and classmates. Her favorite activities were swimming, bowling, and anything we did as a family. She also loved attending church, where she was blessed to serve as a counselor and secretary in her Young Women's Classes. She was loved and accepted by her friends of all ages at church, especially the youth who went the "extra mile" in helping her feel like she was a essential part of the group.

She is survived by her parents, Cleve and Sylvia Esplin, of Preston; her three sisters, Misty (Chad) Bingham, SylviAnn Esplin, and Mary (Dustin) Ayotte, and her grandmother Luana Esplin. She was preceded in death by her grandparents Merl Esplin, Vern and Reva Fullmer.
