It is my greatest hope that she never be forgotten, and live on in the hearts of those who loved her. Our Obituary for my sweet love, Caitlyn Wilson.
Caitlyn Alaska (Hirschi) Wilson, 27, of Hurricane, Utah, passed on December 22, 2022, following childbirth complications that occurred on December 13, 2022, in Buffalo, NY. Caitlyn was born on May 3, 1995, in St. George, UT, to her parents, Michael, and Kristine Hirschi. Caitlyn married Jared Wilson for time and all eternity on December 31, 2019, and proudly bore two perfect sons, Lincoln (17 mo) and Gabriel (1 mo), who were her pride and joy in this life. While Caitlyn accomplished so much in her short lifespan and touched the hearts of everyone she interacted with, her greatest passion was that of a dedicated and loving mother and wife. Caitlyn met her soulmate Jared after each experienced personal trials, and together they treasured a rare and unique understanding of what love can be in today’s world. Never taking it for granted, even for a moment, they planned a lifetime of happiness with dreams yet to be fulfilled. In her passing, her unimaginable love will carry on in the hearts of her husband and children, two beautiful baby boys who will honor and cherish her for their entire lives. Caitlyn’s love of family and desire to be a fantastic mother has roots in her large immediate and extended family. She loved visiting her siblings, playing games, and infecting the room with her beautiful, contagious laugh. Caitlyn followed Jared to the ends of the earth to pursue his career in medicine, eventually moving to Buffalo, NY, where she instantly made their new house a home. Her heart burned with a love of warm southern Utah, but for her family, she was willing and even excited to be in northern New York. Her ability to turn the mundane into the extraordinary was unparalleled and witnessed by family, friends, and coworkers. Her charisma, Christ-like charity, intelligence, beauty, and sass will be remembered by all who had the privilege to know her. Caitlyn exhibited a passion for life rarely seen in one so young. She lived life to the fullest, having moved all over to chase dreams, careers, and hobbies. She felt fulfilled in her many accomplishments and role as a new mother. From being a licensed massage therapist to pursuing her nursing degree, she started multiple small startups and enjoyed diverse hobbies and interests. Caitlyn was faithful to her beliefs and served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Japan. She also served in many other callings and loved the Savior wholeheartedly. She is survived by her husband, Jared, and her two wonderful boys, Lincoln and Gabriel, and further survived by her parents, Michael, and Kristine Hirschi: her siblings, Allie (Tason) Turek, Bailee (Jared) Walther, Mckenzie (Wyatt) Lee, Brigham Hirschi, Zebediah Hirschi, Judd Hirschi, and Luke Hirschi. Many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews will also mourn her loss.
The Wilson and Hirschi families are grateful to all the healthcare professionals at Buffalo
General Medical Center who worked tirelessly to save Caitlyn. They went above and beyond, and their efforts did not go unnoticed.
