Carol Ann Timmons

Carol Ann Timmons passed away on January 23, 2023, in Sandy, Utah peacefully surrounded by her family. Carol is survived by her husband Rick, children Hillary Westover (husband Ethan), Erica Timmons, and Matthew Timmons, her granddaughters, Golden and Frances Westover, her Mother Sandy and stepfather Ron Vos, her stepmother Wanda Brown, her twin sister Melissa Faber (husband David) and her brother Stuart Brown.
Carol was born in Mesa, Arizona on October 24, 1967, to Ted Brown and Sandra Vos and was born a twin with her sister and soulmate Melissa Faber.
Carol and Rick met at Arizona State University and wed soon after Rick's graduation. They led an adventurous life having traveled and lived in many countries around the world, living for over 15 years in Tokyo, Japan, Singapore, Beijing, China, and Hong Kong. Carol gave birth to her two daughters in Tokyo. She had the opportunity to visit over 20 countries around the world and was a lover of art and international cultures.
Not known to many, Carol was also a wonderful painter. She painted when she was young and then motherhood took priority. After a long hiatus, she spent much of her last few months painting prolifically.
Carol's life was all about her family. She loved nothing more than spending time with her children and her two beautiful granddaughters. She would prioritize nothing for herself over an opportunity to be with family. She loved supporting her children and celebrating their accomplishments. She enjoyed baking and creating art with her daughters and watching her son play drums in his band.
Second only to family was her love of giving service. She served in numerous church callings including Relief Society President, Young Women's President, and also served as a Stake Primary President in Tokyo in a Stake of primarily Japanese congregations. Her concern for others was always a part of her daily life. Rather than spend her last few months focused on her health challenges, she chose to paint paintings for others, have chats with loved ones, and re-kindle old friendships.
Carol loved cooking and spending time in the kitchen. She was an accomplished pastry chef and created the recipes for her family's pie shop. She enjoyed working with Rick and her extended family in this endeavor and other family businesses over the years.
Carol fought a graceful fight of 16 years of metastasized breast cancer. She felt blessed to be under the care of the Huntsman Cancer Institute which kept her here with us for much longer than originally expected. Carol leaves a tremendous void in the hearts of all those that had the honor of knowing her, especially her family.
