Carole Wheelwright Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Leavitt's Mortuary & Aultorest Memorial Park on Dec. 12, 2025.
Carole M. Wheelwright, 89, peacefully passed away on December 10, 2025.
She was born at home in Huntsville, UT on Friday, November 13, 1936. She was the only daughter of Marlowe Kathryn Wilson and Theodore McDonald.
In 1954, Carole married Walter A. Wheelwright. They were married for 68 years, until his passing in 2023. Carole leaves behind her four children and their families: Keith & Cindy Wheelwright, Diane & John Hollberg, Jason & Stacy Wheelwright, and Lynne & Bob McAdoo.
Carole earned her high school diploma from Weber District Adult High School on May 23, 1975, just a few days before her eldest son graduated high school. Her example inspired all her children to continue their education, each earning college degrees and beyond.
Carole was quiet and reserved until she got to know people. She had a wicked sense of humor and sharp wit. She could find something to laugh about in any situation.
Carole lived out her last years at Hidden Valley Assisted Living & Memory Care in South Ogden, UT. The family would like to thank the staff at Hidden Valley AL for the kind, caring and comfortable home they provided. The family would also like to thank the staff of Symbii Home Health and Hospice for the end of life care they provided to both Carole and our family.
Carole did not want a funeral. Celebrate her life by sharing laughter with your friends & family.
