Born to Lowell B. Barkle and Elizabeth Cecile Schiess on February 24, 1934 in Logan, Utah. LaRae peacefully left us at age 80, on Tuesday, August 26, 2014. She grew up in Providence, Utah surrounded by a loving family that were very close.
LaRae was a faithful Latter-day Saint and had a strong testimony. She served in many callings, but she especially loved serving as Primary chorister and in Young Womens.
LaRae was an accomplished artist in both oil and water color. She loved painting almost as much as playing bridge with her bridge club. LaRae had many dear friends.
Married Gordon Gunnell in 1953 and they had 6 beautiful children together. Later divorced. She then married Gene Mossman and they had 30 great years together. Gene died in 2003. Later mom met her sweetheart, Ralph Kielsmeier and he has been at her side EVERY day since. What a wonderful man. He is truly loved.
