Lucinda Kay Thorne ~ “Nana” May 23, 1967 – May 06, 2021 "She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings." – Ariana Dancu On Thursday, May 06, 2021, Lucinda Kay Thorne, 53, passed away peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her loving family, after a courageous battle with liver cancer. She was the strongest and bravest warrior, a fighter, and the most amazing woman. Lucinda was born in American Fork, UT, and spent a great amount of her childhood there. In the early 80’s, she met Roger Harwood and moved to Bremerton, WA. She welcomed her first daughter, Heather, on June 30, 1986. About 2 years later, she moved back to Utah and met Briant Thorne. It was meant to be, as their first words to one another were that they each had a child. Briant brought Gennifur (Genny), who was born on June 02, 1986, into her life, and Lucinda welcomed her with open arms as one of her own. It was even more perfect that their daughters were only 28 days apart in age. This was always a highlight they liked to talk about. Briant and Lucinda married on May 18, 1989 in Lehi, UT. Later that year, on September 26, 1989, she gave birth to their first daughter together, Ashley. Just a short couple years later, on September 9, 1991, she had their second daughter together, Kelsee. They lived in Orem, UT and later moved to Eagle Mountain, UT where she fostered her dear late sister Lori’s son Nicholas, allowing him to be her bonus son. She also was like a second mom to her nieces Rachell and Robin, who resided with the family in Eagle Mountain for a short time. In 2011, they purchased their home in American Fork, UT, and it was always one of Lucinda’s dreams to have her own home, so this was a blessing to her. Lucinda enjoyed camping and fishing as her children were growing up and enjoyed spending time up the canyon. She also was a big crafter and enjoyed spending her free time doing crafts and making things for other people. But her greatest joy in life was having her daughters and her grandkids, who she always loved being around and spending time with, always laughing and bringing a smile to everyone’s face. She was the most amazing mom, wife, aunt, daughter, cousin, niece, granddaughter, and friend. She truly brought a light to this world and had an incredible impact on so many lives, always bringing joy to everyone and always put others before herself. She worked with some amazing people that impacted her life, and she impacted theirs at The Utah State Developmental Center, American Fork Hospital, and Walmart, just to name a few. But the most rewarding job to her was being Nana and tending to her grandkids nearly every day for the last couple years. She preferred that they spend the days with her, and Nana’s house was always the fun place to be. They always enjoyed their time with Nana, and she was their favorite to spend time with. Lucinda is preceded in death by her sister Lori Petroff Poulsen, her great grandma Brickey, Gloria Millet, and many other family and friends that welcomed her home with open arms. She is survived by her husband Briant Thorne, her daughters Genny, Heather, Ashley, and Kelsee; her parents Leonard and Pam Grammar, and her wonderful grandkids Morgen, Kaidyn, Talon, Jaymasyn, Maylee, Topher, May, Lincoln, Anariah, and her bonus grandkids, Jaiden and Camden. Also, her siblings Tammy, Donna, Todd, Justin, Daniel, and Shawn. She also has many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews that meant so much to her.
