Description
Carol Lynn Pearson, beloved poet and author who gave voice to grief, faith, and LGBTQ+ experiences within the Latter-day Saint community, has died at 86 after a two-year battle with cancer. Her powerful, compassionate writing—spanning memoirs, plays, and songs like “I’ll Walk With You”—offered solace to the marginalized, with her book “Goodbye, I Love You” saving lives by validating queer love within religious contexts. A devout member of her church, she balanced fierce conviction with tender grace, leaving behind a final diary volume and poem as a testament to her enduring love and legacy.
