St. George, Utah- April Mary Kirkland-Wilson, 57, passed away Saturday September 19, 2026. She was born April 6, 1969, in West Jordan, Utah to John Hudson Kirkland and Rose Marie Huff.
April was raised in St. George, Utah, where she developed a love for the outdoors and a strong work ethic that stayed with her throughout her life. She spent many years working for her family’s fence and garden company before eventually venturing out to start a business of her own.
April held a passion for gardening, being outdoors, and helping others. She shared her love of gardening with her children, creating many memories together at home. Her desire to help others also led her to become a hypnotherapist, where she would support people as they worked through challenges in their lives.
Some of April’s happiest moments were the simple ones—spending weekends sunbathing while her children played in the yard, tending to her garden, and being surrounded by the animals she loved. Over the years, her home was filled with horses, ducks, geese, chickens, dogs, and cats.
April also had an adventurous, fun-loving side and knew how to enjoy life. She loved riding four-wheelers and dirt bikes, staying up late for karaoke, and making memories with the people around her. She had a silly, playful sense of humor and was known for giving the people in her life their own special nicknames—, many of which had a way of sticking. She wasn't afraid to live life a little on the wild side and brought that same spirited energy to so much of what she did.
Above all, April was a strong, independent, and hardworking woman. She will be remembered for her love of family, her compassion for others, her sense of humor, her adventurous spirit, and the many memories she created with those who loved her.
She is survived by her children, Zane Wilson, his wife Emily and 2 children, Shauntell Musselman, her husband Anthony and 3 children, and Alicia Camacho, her husband Everardo and 1 child. Her sisters Krishna, Norma, Denise, Charity, Racheal, and Jessica. Her brothers Johnny, Justin, and Jack.
