It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our sweet mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and cousin and friend, Doreen Dipo Carlson. Mom passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, January 22, 2019, surrounded by family. She was born October 30, 1938, the oldest of six children, to George and Dora Dipo, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her fondest memories were growing up on Oakland Avenue with all of her cousins. Mom graduated from Granite High School.
Mom loved all things autumn, Halloween, the annual Dipo family Christmas parties, camping in the mountains, walks around Silver Lake, and sitting around the table visiting with and telling stories to her children and grandchildren. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Mom was an exceptional secretary and worked for Granite School District for over 40 years before retiring with dad in 2001.
Survived by daughters Cristine (Jim), Connie (Ryan), Dixie, son Collin (Julie); grandchildren Brittany, Cayden, Gavin, Zachary, Whitney Doreen, Kylie, Connor, Cassidy, Caitlyn; siblings Tom (Darlene), Dennis (Diane), Judy (Mike Hurdsman); sisters-in-law Sandy and Dorothy, and her sweet little dog, Maizy. Preceded in death by her soulmate and love of her life, Richard, son Corey, parents, brothers Gary and Grant, and long-time faithful companion Charlie Bones.
