Community mourns after St. George mother dies during childbirth days before Christmas, leaving behind her husband and two children
ST GEORGE, Utah — This holidays often bring joy and feelings of gratitude, but one young family in St. George is suffering from incredible heartbreak; the loss of their mother during childbirth.
Caitlyn Alaska Wilson died Wednesday from complications during labor while giving birth to her second child, and now husband, Jared, will raise the couple's 18 month-old, Lincoln, and newborn, Gabriel, without any memory of their mother. The community has banded together in the spirit of the season through a GoFundMe account asking for help, with $13,000 already being raised by 200 donors.
"During this Christmas season, we ask that if you're able and willing to donate to this family in need," said Bailee Walther, Caitlyn's sister. While nothing can replace the tragic loss of this young mother, the family thanks anyone willing to help.
