After a short illness, Carol Hipwell Garner passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by loving family on September 28, 2016. A Twin Falls resident, she was 79 years old.
Carol was born on December 17, 1936 in Ogden, Utah and lived most of her childhood in Wilson, Utah. After graduating from Weber High School, she married Del Berrett Garner, her high school sweetheart, on June 6, 1957 in the Logan LDS Temple. Carol and Del spent their early married life in North Ogden, Utah and Cache Valley, Utah. Ten years after getting married, Carol and Del moved to American Falls, Idaho and eventually to Raft River, Idaho to pursue their dream of owning and operating a farm and raising their children in a quiet rural environment. She and Del lived in Raft River for 42 years until moving to Twin Falls in 2013.
As Carol and Del raised their family, she emphasized the importance of family, faith, friends, knowledge, service, and fun with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all of those who were fortunate to know her. She was passionate about pursuing dreams, interests, and talents, and was a champion of people who are less fortunate and in need of friendship and compassion. As a trained and certified EMT, Carol was one of the founding members of Raft River Rescue and was President and volunteer of the Pink Ladies at Cassia Memorial Hospital for many years. She enjoyed painting, writing poetry, traveling, learning new technologies, and spending time with her large family.
Carol was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, serving in many callings. She went on three full-time LDS missions with Del over nearly 7 years. She served with Del when he was president of the Philippines Olongapo Mission, followed by a mission to the Historic Liberty Jail Visitors' Center and a mission to the New Zealand Wellington Mission. Carol also spent 5 years as an ordinance worker at the Logan LDS Temple and the past 3 years as Assistant to the Matron of the Twin Falls LDS Temple.
She is survived by her loving husband Del, daughter Cindy (Tony) Heber City, Utah, and sons, Mike (Toni) Raft River, Idaho, Blair (Julie), Ogden, Utah, Scott (Ali) Chicago, Illinois, and Jeff (Marla) Boise, Idaho. She is also survived by 18 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren (with three more on the way), and sisters Elaine Stauffer (Ogden, Utah) and Cleone Wall (Layton, Utah). She is preceded in death by her parents, Ellis and Mary Hipwell, and brothers, Dee Hipwell and Grant Hipwell.
