Obituary - Caroline Cannon Whitney Steele died March 4, 1993, of causes incident to age.
She had been a resident at St. Joseph Villa for several years, a victim of Alzheimer's disease, but died at home. She was 90-years-old. She was born May 14, 1902 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Willard Telle Cannon and Caroline Young Cannon. She attended public schools in Salt Lake City and graduated from the University of Utah in 1924. While at the University, she was a member of the Chi Omega Sorority.
She married Hardin A. Whitney in 1926 and following their marriage, they moved to Helena, Montana, where they had a son, Hardin A. Whitney, Jr. They were later divorced and she returned to Salt Lake City.
In 1935, she married James E. "Cream" Steele, who, with her encouragement, began his own roofing business which was very successful.
