Patricia Ann Balls

Patricia Balls passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 8, 2026, in Logan, Utah. She will be remembered for her kind heart, spirited personality, devotion to family, strong faith, and the many beautiful things she created throughout her life.

Patricia was born on December 15, 1948, in Preston, Idaho, the daughter of Willis Ray Cazier and Hazel Cazier. She married John E. Schvaneveldt, and later married Sidney M. Balls. She was a loving and devoted mother and grandmother.

She truly enjoyed the opportunities her career provided to travel, experience new places, and meet people from all walks of life. She valued the friendships she made and the many experiences and memories she gathered along the way. Throughout her career, Patricia received multiple awards and recognition for her years of dedicated service and contributions to ICON. Among her colleagues, she was known as the "Spicy Redhead," a nickname that perfectly captured her spirited personality and feisty charm.

Some of Patricia's greatest joys came from the things she loved most her grandchildren. She was a loving grandmother who treasured her family and the special memories they shared.
