During her life, she and her family spent most summers in the mountains of Wyoming camping and riding horses. She also enjoyed working in her yard and garden. Her home and yard were always beautiful because of the work she dedicated to taking care of it. Carol was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Over the years, she held various positions in the Relief Society, Young Women, and Primary programs. Her most beloved calling was serving along-side her husband in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.
