Carol passed away in her home in Salt Lake City, Utah on April 3, 2018.
She was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on March 23, 1944 to Lester W. Fowler and Laurene R. Green. She graduated from East High School, class of 1962, married John Parker Newton Jr., and had one son, Mark Newton.
She was a kind and caring person with a great sense of humor. She enjoyed living in the Sugarhouse area, taking cruises, playing golf, listening to oldies music, going for drives, and watching Utah Jazz games. She was active in her community; volunteering her time as a member of the Assistance League of Salt Lake City for approximately 14 years. Carol did work various jobs throughout her life—the most recent being Friends for Sight in Salt Lake—although John afforded her the opportunity to be, primarily, a homemaker.
She was also tough…demonstrating her resilience when facing multiple health problems during her later years. She was a breast-cancer survivor and endured open-heart surgery two times, most recently in October of 2017.
She was preceded in death by her husband John, her parents Lester and Laurene, and her sister Jean. She is survived by her only child, Mark. At her request, Carol will be cremated. A memorial service will be arranged at a later date.
Mark would like to thank all the doctors and staff that have interacted with Carol in recent years, especially at St. Mark's Hospital, who always treated her like a friend and with kindness.
In place of flowers, please donate to www.bcrf.org or a charity of your choosing in Carol's honor.
