She worked at Sevier Valley Hospital, Sevier School and Office Supply and Petrolane Gas Co.

In 1939 Carol married Harold Coons, their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti Temple. Harold preceded her in death in 1975. Carol later married Lester Stoker, who has also preceded her in death.

Carol is survived by her daughter, Valerie Hodgson; son-in-law, David Madsen and daughter-in-law, Vicki Coons; Lester’s children: Bonnie (Gail) Liddiard, Andrea (Koze) Hallows and Wayne (Diane) Stoker.
