Christie Davenport Leavitt

Christie Lynne Davenport Leavitt has gone to live with her mother Jennie Lynne Davenport and father Leland Dale Davenport in heaven. She leaves behind her husband Alma Leavitt as well as her most precious and loved possessions in the world which are her daughter Kayla Leavitt and son Justin Leavitt, both of whom she loves dearly, and she is so proud of.

She eagerly awaits the arrival of her yet to be conceived grandchildren on earth so she can love and watch over them as much as she has loved and watched over her own children.

She has left running around unsupervised all her younger siblings.

Christie Lynne was born on February 23, 1965, to Leland Dale and Jennie Lynne Davenport. In the evening of May 30, 2026, she left her earthly home to join her parents and other loved ones circled in the arms of her Loving Savior.

When she was born her parents felt like she was their miracle baby, arriving about four and a half years after they were married. Her mom said that she couldn’t believe that she finally had a baby of her own to hold and to love.

Over the next nineteen years Christie would be joined by five sisters and six brothers. She grew to love and cherish all of her siblings.

Christie had many ambitions in life. Which included but were not limited to crocheting, playing the flute and piano, playing all the sports with her young women classes as well as her love for being in nature. She learned to play the piano and taught herself to play the organ. Learning to play the organ allowed her to serve her ward family by accompanying the hymns sung in her ward sacrament meetings.

She grew up in Genola Utah on a thirty-six-acre farm. Being the oldest in such a large family taught her the value of hard work and left her with great determination to try to conquer the world. She attended elementary school in Goshen and then attended junior high and high school in Payson. Upon graduation from high school, she attended Utah Technical College in Provo earning her degree in Electronic Technology, which was a huge accomplishment since there weren’t many women who graduated in this field.

She met and fell in love with Alma Leavitt. They were married on September 22, 1989, in the Provo LDS Temple. To this union were born her two wonderful children, Justin and Kayla. She loved, cherished and served them until she became too sick to care for them anymore. Then it was their turn to help and serve her.

Christie had quiet determination and faith to face any challenges presented to her. The last couple of years haven’t been easy for her as she has fought the challenges of cancer with that quiet determination and faith. Family rarely heard her complain even when to others the challenges looked like they must be hard to bear.

Christie is proceeded in death by her parents, Dale and Jennie Lynne Davenport. As well as her in-laws Von and Beverly Leavitt whom she loved dearly. She was also proceeded in death by a brother-in-law Eric Hanger as well as many aunts, uncles and grandparents.

She is survived by her husband Alma, her siblings Michelle (Michael) Johnston, LaRinda (Trent) Taylor, Hyrum (Jennifer) Davenport, Mathew Davenport, Charles (Tonja) Davenport, Beth Hanger, Preston (Christy) Davenport, Aaron Davenport, Cecilia (Jason) Segedy. Linnea (Romney) Davis and Spencer (Carrie) Davenport. As well as many nieces and nephews. Also, Alma’s siblings Aleta Goodwin, Aundre, Adrein, Aver and Andrew, Leavitt.

The family wishes to thank all those who gave service or took care of Christie towards the end of her life. They ask that in leu of flowers that you either donate to the link on this page to help with her final expenses or donate to your favorite cancer organization.

Graveside service will be held at the Genola Cemetery on June 5, 2026, at 11:00 am. The Cemetery is located at 74 West 800 South in Genola.
