Carol M. Trojan, R.N. passed away peacefully on June 17, 2011 with her husband of sixty-five years holding her hand.
She was born in 1919 in Jackson, Minnesota to John and Florence Thoreson. She graduated St. John's Hospital School of Nursing in Redwing, Minnesota in time to join the war effort in World War II. She served in England with the 187th General Hospital Unit.
After discharge she met the love of her life, Thomas R. Trojan. They married in Seattle, Washington and then settled on a farm in Leigh, Nebraska.
They moved their young family to Utah, where she continued her nursing career at Cottonwood Hospital, working until she retired in 1983. She and Tom enjoyed a long retirement, traveling all fifty states - mostly in their motor home.
Survived by her husband, Thomas Trojan; children: Becky and Steve Andersen of Murray; John and Julie Trojan of Draper; Cathy Johnson of Murray; Bill Trojan and Susan Stone of Houston, Texas; eight grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
Sincere thanks to the wonderful staff at The Atria in Sandy and Sunbrook Hospice.
