She supported Utah State athletics and was a mem- ber of the Big Blue Club for more than 50 years. She was also an active member of the LDS Church and served two missions with her husband: first to City, Okla., and then at the Deseret Industries in Logan. Family was Carol’s number one priority. She loved spend- ing time with Vern, her children, grandchildren and great-grand- children. Carol was a fun-lov- ing little lady with a real sweet tooth. She was a great cook and loved to sew; she made quilts for all the family weddings and babies. Carol loved people and made many great friends wherever she went. She was exceptionally thoughtful and loving, always doing things for the people she loved. She was always on the go. She and Vern enjoyed exploring new places, attending Aggies athletic events, cheering on the Jazz, supporting her family in various activities, and she was always up for a new adventure.
