Joylynn Nelsen (Baldwin), our beloved sister, daughter, mother, wife, and friend, was called to her heavenly home, to rejoice in a joyous reunion with her angel mother, April 4, 2018, in Salt Lake City, Utah; following a faithful, hopeful, and courageous battle with an aggressive and rare cancer. Joylynn, or Joy, as many knew her, was born February 2, 1984, in Logan, Utah, to Daniel Richard and Mary-Lynn Nelsen. She grew up in Richmond, Utah, and attended elementary and middle school there. She graduated from Sky View High School and LDS Seminary in 2002. Joylynn married Jordan Baldwin, September 16, 2006, in Cove, Utah. The following year on November 26, 2007, her daughter, Presley Grace, was born. Presley is the light and life of Joylynn. From the day she was born, the two of them were inseparable sharing joy, laughter, tears, and fun. Joylynn had a great love for learning and succeeding. In the spring of 2015, she graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business. Following which, she started working as a licensed commercial insurance agent at Quality 1st Insurance Agency, in Logan, Utah. Joylynn loved her job and her work family. She was so grateful for the opportunity to grow personally and professionally while employed there. The imprint Joylynn left on this world will forever be felt by all who knew her, and all who will come to know her from her legacy. She had a heart of gold, a beautiful smile, and radiated kindness and beauty to everyone. Her talent and gift of seeing the beauty in all things, provided additional beauty for all to behold, with her floral designs and beautiful crafting.
