Our beloved mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, Carolyn was called home by her Heavenly Father. She passed away peacefully at home on 10/21/2014. She was born October 16, 1951 in SLC, Utah to D. Darrell and Cleo Singleton Griffiths. Carolyn loved spending time with her family and friends and being outdoors. She enjoyed rock concerts and traveling, especially occasional day trips to Wendover. She married Philip Fischl in the Salt Lake City Temple 6/17/1971 and had 4 children together. Her proudest achievement was being a mother to her children. After 25 years of marriage they divorced.

She retired 4/1/2014 to help care for her twin granddaughters. She met and touched many people's lives during her lifetime. She will be greatly missed.
