Carol Williams

Carol Brown Williams, loving mother, grandma, sister, aunt and friend passed away suddenly on November 3, 2026. She was 92 years old.

Carol was born in Manti, Utah on January 20, 1934, to Eugene Brown and Ruth Braithwaite. She grew up in Manti, graduated from Manti High School in 1952, and attended Snow College for the next 2 years. Carol’s school days were filled with many fun friends and good times. She enjoyed working on committees for assemblies and dances and was elected to many different leadership positions, including class and seminary officer and FFA queen. One of her favorite adventures during her college days was the summer she spent working at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

In 1951, she met Jim Williams while working at the local movie theater. They started with a strong bond of friendship that grew into a forever love. Carol enjoyed watching and cheering for Jim while he played football at Snow College. They loved to go dancing together at college dances and the Big Dance Hall in Moroni. Carol and Jim were married on September 24, 1954, in the Manti Temple. They spent the next 72 years building a wonderful life together.

Carol had many talents and interests. She enjoyed gardening and flowers, canning, quilting, collecting memories into scrapbooks, and had a lifetime passion for photography. She was an active member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. Carol loved nature and being out in it. On vacations, she would take pictures of all the old barns she saw and gathered a collection of rocks that are still in her flower gardens today. Family vacations were mostly camping trips, fishing at Flaming Gorge and Strawberry Reservoir, and playing card games at night in the trailers of families and friends. Great memories were made.

Carol was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Her faith was the foundation of her life; it was very strong and showed in how she served. Throughout her life, she served valiantly in many callings, including Relief Society, Young Women, Primary and was a visiting teacher for as long as she could remember, but her favorite callings were with the youth. The things that mattered the most to Carol were her faith in Jesus Christ, her love for her husband and family and her opportunities to serve others.

She is survived by her husband Jim, 3 children, Jolene (Rick), Dale (Shelly), Tommy, daughter-in-law Tami (Lynn) Williams Glauser, 14 grandchildren, 29 great grandchildren, sister Beverly (Toby) Gonzalez, and sister-in-law, Linda Brown. She was preceded in death by 2 sons, David and Bobby, her parents Eugene and Ruth Brown, her brothers Bob, Jerry and Dick.

Viewing will be held on Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 10:30 – 11:45 am. Funeral will be at 12:00 pm. Both services will be at the LDS Church located at 220 West 975 North, Sunset. Burial will be at the Clearfield Cemetery in Clearfield.

Special love and thanks to her sweet husband that has faithfully taken care of Carol this last year. She has struggled with declining health, and he has been by her side every day. He loved her and made sure she had the best breakfast. He would also give her a daily chocolate candy with a kiss.
