Our beloved Carolyn Sue Vogrinec, devoted wife and loving mother, passed away on May 5, 2021 at Pinnacle Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Price, Utah at the age of 76.

She was born July, 13, 1944 in Price, Utah to Thomas Stoker and Susan Moore.

Carolyn grew up in Helper. During her senior year of high school her family moved to Salt Lake where she graduated from West High School in 1962.  While attending Carbon High, she met the love of her life Jeff Vogrinec.  They were married on June 16, 1963 and moved to Salt Lake City to work and attend college. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple on October 8, 1965.  Jeff and Carolyn returned to Carbon County in 1977 with their two sons, Kirk and Cory.

Over the years, Carolyn worked for Dr. Dansie, Price City Chamber of Commerce and Price City. She retired from Price City in 2002.  She was always calm and collected.  She always helped other people and volunteered her time.  Carolyn was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother.  She loved gardening, celebrating the holidays, reading, dancing, playing the piano, and she especially loved her dog PeeWee.  She loved supporting her husband and all the surrounding family members.  Although Carolyn had a setback in the later part of her life, she will be remembered for her devotion, unconditional love, resilience and her willingness to help others in need.  We love you Mom.

The family wishes to express appreciation to Dr. Potter and the great people at the Pinnacle Nursing Center for the care she received during the last years of her life.
