Carol Browning passed away peacefully in a hospice facility in Amarillo, Texas after suffering a major stroke. She died on November 16, 2006. Carol had been living with her daughter and son-in-law, Sandra and Eugene Robb, for the last seven years. She traveled back and forth for numerous visits with her son and family, Robert and Laurel Browning of Alpine, Utah.
Carol was born in the Walker Family home in Cedar City, Utah where each of her eight sisters and one brother were born. Carol was the youngest of her sisters and brother, born on December 20th, 1915 to Emeline and Frank Walker. She was named "Carol" by one of her sisters to help celebrate the Christmas season. She shares her birthday with a great grandson, Tristan. He is grateful Grandma didn't insist on naming him Carol too.
As a young woman, Carol worked in a local jewelry store and also worked briefly for the phone company as an operator. In 1940, she met and married Clifton "Brownie" Browning who was stationed in Utah as a recruiter for the U.S. Army, recruiting in the rural cities of Southern Utah. Clifton and Carol were stationed in Fort Lewis, Washington where their son Robert was born. Eighteen months later their daughter, Sandra, was born while they were stationed at the Presidio in San Francisco, California. The young family was stationed at Camp Roberts in Paso Robles, California when Captain Browning was assigned to Europe and the Pacific until the end of WWII. Carol and her two children moved back to Cedar City and lived with Carol's mother until Captain Browning returned from the war.
The Browning family settled in Cedar City and raised their children. Carol loved Cedar City and Southern Utah and instilled that love in her nine grandchildren, twenty five great grandchildren and 2 great- great- grandchildren. Cedar City, and Grandpa and Grandma Browning were always a special place to visit and play. The "ditch" in front of the Walker home held a magical attraction for the children along with frequent picnics in the mountains as well as trips to the National Parks and other Southern Utah locations. Grandpa preceded Carol in death; he died in 1985. In later years, 1999, Carol left her beloved Cedar City to live with her daughter and the "Texas" family. She did not go peacefully to Amarillo, Texas to live with Sandra and family. She insisted she could still "live by myself in Cedar," displaying that streak of confidence and independence that marked her entire life.
Carol was a member of the special "Pioneer" generation that lived through outdoor plumbing, coal oil lamps, horse drawn transportation, the depression, two world wars and the modern miracles of today's technology. She loved and respected her parents, her family and her Utah heritage. She felt it was her duty to proudly set that same example for all her children. "Mission Accomplished."
Services will be held at the Southern Utah Mortuary on Monday, November 20th at 1:00 p.m. Burial will follow at the Cedar City Cemetery. The Family is eternally grateful to Sandra and Eugene Robb for the love and care they provided for our mother in the last years of her life.
