Carol was born to Elaine Cox and Calvin Whitney on May 12, 1942 in Ogden Utah, the oldest of five children.
She married V. Stuart Hopkin on August 15, 1960 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Carol was always active in church and she served in many positions in her ward and stake. She and Stuart served a mission in Charlotte, North Carolina and served in the Ogden Utah Temple. She loved the feelings she had while attending the temple.
The best term we can think of to describe Mom is 'love' - she loved her friends and the people she associated with, she loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and she especially loved Stu. Everything she did she did out of love.
Carol had a special place in her heart for children. She always loved visiting her grandchildren and when they started having children of their own, she was happy to have the next generation of little children around her. She loved music and loved singing in the church choir.
Carol is survived by her husband Stuart, by her children, Vern Hopkin, JoJean (Sim) Weston, Mary (Mark) Ackerman, David (Kim) Hopkin, Michael (Debbie) Hopkin, Melissa (Thad) Willis, Chris (Michelle) Hopkin, Jennifer (Chad) Bullen, Sara (James) Graf, and Andy (Lori) Hopkin, also 46 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her grandson Jimmy Hopkin.
Funeral services were held on Saturday, September 3, 2016 in the Woodruff LDS Ward chapel at 1 Interment followed at the Woodruff Cemetery.
Thank you to countless friends who made her life so rich and full. Online condolences may be given at crandallfhevanston.com
