The Young Women leader’s presentations were “so warm and so engaging,” Young said. “She made everyone feel like they were important to her.”, yet left as a teen to attend Brigham Young Academy in Provo, where Dallin H. Oaks was a fellow student.Kapp continued her education at the University of Utah, earning a bachelor’s, then a master’s from Brigham Young University, both in curriculum development.
So she became a kind of “surrogate mother” to her many nieces and nephews, Young recalled. “She mentored them. She taught them. She supported them.”
