Carol Aleen Ney Beesley, 97 of Mt. Pleasant, UT, passed away peacefully the morning of December 31, 2021. She was welcomed home to the arms of her Savior. She was born July 14, 1924 to August Angus & Victoria Johana Sorensen Ney in Mt. Pleasant, UT.
She graduated from Wasatch Academy, in Mt. Pleasant. After graduation she worked at the parachute plant in Manti, and later moved to Clearfield. She then began working at the Navy Base, at that time she met her eternal companion Donald C. Beesley. They were married on February 28, 1947 in Sunset. Their marriage was solemnized July 23, 1983 in the Provo Temple. They made their first home in Roy, where they welcomed their two children Lynn and Janet. In 1970 they moved their small family to Mt. Pleasant, she began working at the sewing plant, where she later retired.
Carol and Don served on the Senior Board for many years, and helped raise the funds to build the Senior Citizen Building in Mt. Pleasant. They worked to provide meals for local monthly senior socials. She was always cooking for them, and enjoyed doing so.
She was also very active in the local Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. In 2018 she was recognized as the eldest woman for Pioneer Day at the age of 94, which brought her great satisfaction to surpass her goal of 93!
Her favorite things were gardening, cooking, reading, serving others, and visits from her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was known for sharing her home grown vegetables, breads (zucchini and banana were her favorite), angel food cake, and ice cream! She had a tender love for animals, especially hummingbirds, cats, chickens, sheep, and her little dog named Sue. In her later years her sense of humor was enjoyed by her family. The laughter she brought was contagious to everyone in the room.
As a righteous member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints she served in the primary and was a devoted visiting teacher. She always had her scriptures nearby and loved attending family home evening study group. Her and Don enjoyed attending the temple often to do initiatory work.
Carol lived a full life in her 97 years and endured to the very end with her spunky personality. She beat breast cancer at 86. She loved spending time with her family, and had a very special love for each one of them.
