Carol Ann McPheeters
1939 - 2014
Early Life: Carol was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on January 8, 1939; the firstborn child of Leonard Harry McPheeters Sr. and Lida Margaret Waugaman McPheeters. She attended schools in Salt Lake as a child, up to her junior year at East High School in 1956. Her family moved to California and she graduated from Pasadena High School in 1957.
Life's Work/Service/Interests: Carol earned a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education at Brigham Young University. After several years of teaching in the public schools, she continued her education earning a Master's Degree in Educational Psychology, all the while working full-time and single-handedly raising her four children. Her children remember her as a strong advocate for gaining education, encouraging them to achieve excellence academically and develop high work ethics. Carol was a model of balancing family responsibilities, work and fun! Her love of learning and interest in people motivated her, at age 50, to return to the university again and pursue a Master's Degree in Organizational Behavior at the Marriott School of Business Management, Brigham Young University. This adventure to cross train into business was vitalizing and rewarding to her and expanded the contribution she made in the school system and her colleague teachers. Carol was a mentor to hundreds of graduate students studying Special Education and through her career she became an expert on learning theory and organizational behavior. Carol found fulfillment in her own paradigm of strength through travel to foreign lands, she believed that travel to foreign lands was as good as, or better, than a college class. Carol earned the title of Golden Gleaner as a young woman, she was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in many roles in the Church and shared her testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel to her children by being a role model example of her beliefs in Christ. She was a guide on Temple Square, an avid collector of family history and she used her exquisite writing skills and creative arts talents, to vividly portray events in the lives of her family through music, pictures and songs. Most recently she was the Chapter Regent for the Wasatch Range Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), her Patriot was Private Andrew McPheeters, of Pennsylvania. Carol was recognized by the DAR as a distinguished member of the Heritage Club for her significant contribution and leadership. Her wish was to leave a historical legacy to her children and grandchildren. Carol Ann McPheeters completed "earth life school" on April 15, 2014. She was 75.
Survived By: Her four children: Linda Carol (Lewis) Hofmann, Laurie Ann (Kyle) Smith, Ron (Dominique) Osick, and Susie L. (Steve) Clayson.
