Terry Carlson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Walker Sanderson Funeral Home & Crematory - Orem on Sep. 29, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Terry Ann Taylor (Carlson), 73, passed away peacefully at her home in Provo, Utah, on September 24, 2025.

Born and raised in Provo, Terry's life was filled with love, joy, and a remarkable spirit. She approached life with a positive outlook, never complaining, always grateful for the little things, and finding happiness in everyday moments. Her playful, childlike sense of fun brought laughter to all who knew her.

Terry loved writing, art, crafts, baking, and especially celebrating Halloween. She had a remarkable ability to make every project, treat, or gathering special, sharing her enthusiasm and warmth with everyone around her.

Above all else, Terry loved being a mom. She was the proud mother of Danielle, Justin, Jamie, Russell, Amber, and Neil. She shared a deep and eternal bond with her late husband, Keith Denny Taylor, to whom she was sealed in the LDS temple before his passing in 1985.

Terry was blessed with a large and loving family, including her siblings Kris, Trudy, Noni, Clark, and Mike. She will forever be remembered and adored by her grandchildren Gabe, Zade, Niya, Keyerrah, Zach, Jayden , Sienna, Hayden, Kaysie, BriOnna, Chase, Chevy, Cruz, Logan, and Sophie, as well as her great-granddaughter, Jaycee.

Those who knew Terry will remember her as someone whose joy, positivity, and gratitude were infectious, and whose playful spirit made life brighter for everyone around her.

A graveside service will be held in her honor on Friday, October 10, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Orem City Cemetery, under the care of Walker Sanderson Funeral Home.
