The Clytie Adams Memorial Fund

On April 24, 2025, our beloved mother, grandmother, and teacher, Clytie Adams, passed away peacefully at the age of 86.

Clytie spent her life sharing her love of dance with generations of students. In 1964, she founded the Clytie Adams School of Ballet, creating a place where young dancers could grow in confidence, artistry, and discipline. Her impact reaches far beyond the walls of the studio — through the countless lives she touched, the lifelong friendships she helped create, and the love of the arts she inspired in so many.

In her memory, we are establishing the Clytie Adams Memorial Fund. All donations will go to the Utah Arts Council, supporting arts education and helping to continue the work that meant so much to her.

If you or your family have been touched by Clytie’s kindness, her teaching, or her passion for the arts, we invite you to join us in honoring her memory. Your gift will help keep her spirit alive for future generations.

Thank you for helping us celebrate a life so beautifully lived.

— Leslie, Sarah, Jennifer, and all of Clytie’s grandchildren
