Grandma Carlson

My Grandma Carlson passed away on Saturday, January 23rd. She was 93 years old (almost 94). Since about October she has been living in a care center in Gilbert AZ since she wasn't able to live on her own anymore. She was a kind, loving, faithful woman. She loved sports (especially BYU) and almost always had some game on TV. She also loved reading. She kept her home clean and organized always. Family was very important to her. When she and Grandpa lived in Orem, they had all they BYU attending grandkids over every Monday night for dinner. By the time I was at BYU they were snowbirding in St. George during the cold months. Doug and I lived across the street from them for about a year and a half. I always loved when she would stop by and check up on Jackson and me.  They moved to Arizona around 2008, and we loved visiting Grandma there after Grandpa passed away in 2010. She's always been so loving and welcoming whenever we'd come over. We will definitely miss her!

During my freshman year of college my mom and I drove down to St. George to visit Grandma and Grandpa. We explored nature.

Grandma climbed up here!

We went to Vegas too. It was my first time there.
