Carol Dean
Carol Jean Smart Dixon Dean, 93 died July 14, 2024, peacefully in her home from pancreatic cancer.
Carol was born March 6, 1931 to Lynn and Lula Pollock Smart. In 1950 she married Noel Gould Dixon and they had four children; Denne, Kent, Bonne, and Gus. Carol and Noel later divorced. In 1979 Carol met Jerald Dean and they were married March 6, 1979. With Jerry’s son Dave and daughters Joan, Jodi and Julie we all became one big family. Carol and Jerald were sealed in the Provo Temple on March 25, 2011.
Carol and Jerry spent many years at Fish Lake where they lived each summer. They loved Bowery Haven and would socialize and celebrate when Jerry would win the “biggest catch of the day”.
The family would like to thank Dr. Rasmussen and Juab County Hospice (CVMC) and her sweet nurse, Julieanne.
Carol is survived by her children, Denne (Mike) Bosco, Kent (Julie) Dixon, Bonne (Mike) LaCario, Gus (Wanda) Dixon, Jodi (Fred) Evans and Julie (Nick) Castleton; her dear friend Sherlin Grill and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will miss her dearly. We all love her so very much! She was preceded in death by Jerald Dean, Noel Dixon, Dave Dean, Joan Cingaloni, her parents Lynn and Lula Smart, in-laws Gould (Madoline) Dixon, mother-in-law Cinda Dean, and granddaughter Cassandra Dixon.
