Chelsea Hale, a University of Utah sophomore, Delta Gamma sister and daughter of Sen. Karen Hale, died in an all-terrain vehicle accident Saturday night.
Hale, and her friend Chase Chandler, a Sigma Chi brother, were involved in an accident while driving recreational vehicles around a friend's cabin in Heber, Utah.
"She was the most sincere person," said Delta Gamma president Ashley Canick. "She just had this incredible disposition about her."
Hale had recently returned from studying abroad in London and was visiting with friends at the time of the accident.
"She loved everyone," said her mother, Utah Sen. Karen Hale. "Her life was just an ongoing work."
Chelsea Hale graduated from Highland High School in 1999. The summer before her freshman year at the U, she went to Kenya where she spent time with Associated Students of the University of Utah President Jess Dalton.
While in Kenya, Chelsea Hale helped doctors serve impoverished African children.
Chelsea Hale's family said her desire to serve was the predominate aspect of her personality.
"She was going to be our director of philanthropy," Canick said. "She was really active in the Lowell Bennion Community Service Center."
Chelsea Hale also helped every year with the Utah special Olympics and was upset when her studies in London made her miss the 2000 games.
"Every Christmas she would have a dinner for her friends so they could raise money for a sub for-Santa family," Sen. Hale said.
Chelsea Hale worked with the Olympic Coordination office at the U, and was always happy, according to Olympic Coordinator Gwen Springmeyer.
"[Chelsea] said, โI don't understand how anyone would go through life with a bad attitude," Springmeyer said, "[so] we decided we would coin a phrase called โ2002 Attitude' to keep our spirits up."
Other coworkers of Chelsea Hale's also remember her fondly.
"She was just a delightful person," said Wayne McCormack, U olympic coordinator.
Hale died almost instantly in the accident. Chandler remains in intermediate care at a Provo Hospital and is expected to be released in a few days.
