Obituary: Carol N. Karr (Lund)

Carol N. Karr (Lund) "Grandma" In the early morning hours of June 27th, 2005 a joyful, heavenly reunion was begun when Carol N. Lund's amazing earthly adventure ended too soon and she returned home to the welcoming embraces of eternal family members. Born January 28, 1935 to Fredrick Kohlhepp Nash and Dorothy Larson in Salt Lake City. She married the love of her life, Robert C. Lund, III. Together, their partnership produced five amazing children: Robert Charles Lund, IV, (Leslie); Russell Kay Lund (Shauna); Rex Douglas Lund (deceased); James Judd Lund (Amy); and, Tiffanie (Craig) Lund Anderson. Her loving legacy includes 15 grandchildren (two currently serving as LDS Missionaries) and a darling great-granddaughter. She is also survived by immediate family: sister, La Dene Hoaglund (Boyd); brother, Freddie. Preceded in death by parents and brother Lynn Nash. First a wife, then a mother, then a successful business woman, her hallmark was a strong work ethic. She was one of the first travel agents that June Morris hired to help build Morris Travel. Having enthusiastically globetrotted, she always returned happily to her family and her east side Salt Lake home, with the requisite, awe inspiring view of Mount Olympus. She was always supportive of her children's' and grandchildren's' endeavors and so proud of each and everyone. Carol leaves behind countless, lifelong friends from all chapters of her life; Granite High School, Bridge Club, Ladies Golf Associations, Bowling Leagues, Service Clubs, Neighborhoods and Senior Citizen Centers. Her faith and commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ increased throughout the years, as she came to know more fully the things that matter most in this life. She enjoyed the sweet blessings of charitable, caring service to those in need. She relished in her weekly assignment at the Jos. Smith Memorial Building and other callings in the Cottonwood 7th Ward. Kindly help us celebrate her life at a Viewing to be held at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary, Wednesday, June 29th from 6 to 8 p.m. Memorial Services will be held Thursday at 11 a.m. at the Cottonwood 7th Ward located at 1250 East 4800 South. Friends may call from 10 till 10:45. Interment Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Missionary Fund of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
