Camilia Faye (Bolinder) Mead passed away suddenly in her home Feb. 3, 2016. Cami was born Aug. 30, 1972, in Tooele, Utah, to Sammy D. Bolinder and Vickie Nausley. Cami was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. All who knew her would agree that she was always so willing to give and help others before herself. We have learned that through this tragedy she is still living her dream of helping everyone that she could by being an organ donor. She has already been able to help more than 150 people in the first few days with many more to come.  She was a large part of the Utah Foster Care Foundation, and always had a very soft spot in her heart for kids, and her four-legged fur babies. She and Mike helped to raise more than 50 children either through the foundation or childcare. Cami was also an avid crafter and waterskier, she loved being out on the water on papa’s boat and spending time with her family. No words can express how greatly she is loved and how intensely she will be missed by all that knew her. But we are comforted to know that she was welcomed into heaven with open arms by her grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends. Cami is survived by her parents Sam and Vickie Bolinder, brother Stephen (Michael) Bolinder, her loving husband Mike Mead, their five beautiful children Amber (Aaron) Greenup, Gabby, Wyatt, Darla, and Cody, as well as their two grandchildren Aiden and Brinlee (with another grandson on the way). She also leaves behind so many extended family and friends who will miss her deeply. A funeral will be held in her honor on Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2016. The visitation will start at 10 a.m. at the LDS Tooele 17th Ward building, 132 N. 570 East in Tooele, Utah, with services starting at 11 a.m. Interment will follow at the Tooele City Cemetery.
