From Blaine and Delores Campbell:
Carolyn is a great lady. Our mothers shared a great love of crafting. Everyone for miles around relied on her little shop for floral arrangements, to prom corsages and tons of other items. Our love thoughts and prayers to your family.
From Bruce and Kay Durfee:
It's never a good time to loose someone. Carolyn was a very talented woman. Like others have said she was kind. I don't think I ever saw her unhappy. She had a warmth about her that made you feel good. I still have a small vase with some flowers that she gave to us as a thank you for taking her home after church when she accidentally got left. She was thoughtful. We will miss her.
From Sherry Michelsen :
I love your family and know losing your mother is hard. Hoping you can bless one another during this difficult time and feel peace together.
From David &Ann Luthy :
Over the years as our family has come to know Carolyn we have been deeply enriched by her. She is kind and thoughtful, encouraging and a very devoted mother, grandmother, and friend. We loved visiting and staying at her home and marveled at how she could whip up a delicious meal for a huge crowd. We loved how she could tell us about each of her children and grandchildren and was so proud of them. She was supportive of all their activities. The world would be a better place of we all lived our lives as she has lived hers. Our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to all of her family.
From Claudia May George:
Carolyn you were a great teacher of life. I thank you for all you taught me.
From Arlene Koelling:
When we first moved here from Washington state, the very first person to greet us was Burke Heaton. He stood at our door with a picture of his family and said, "I am your neighbor and this is my family!". I looked at this picture and thought, (well, we sure are in Southern Idaho)! I soon met Carolyn and we spent many hours, not only being neighbors but also as visiting teaching companions. We solved all of the world's problems together and I always think of Carolyn when I make pumpkin cookies, because she just loved them!
From Randy Davis:
Love the Heaton family and their stories. Always felt welcome in their home and loved the ice cold milk on tap.
From Jerri Ann Parkin ( Hrubes). :
My Aunt took me in when my mom was having a rough time. She shaped my life and paved the way for me. All that I stand for is from what she taught me. There were many lessons taught while cooking and preparing food for everyone. I’m going to miss her so much!

From Colyn Barnes:
Carolyn was a wonderful lady, kind, thoughtful and very generous. She was a great cook her meals were delicious and I was blessed to enjoy many, many tasty meals at their home. She loved and was very proud of her large family and to her the more the merrier. I remember one occasion when I was attending BYU I didn’t have to be there early and I had been home in Stanford for the weekend so Carolyn needed a ride to Bountiful so I took her on my way to Provo. Well I got there a little after 10:00 pm. I didn’t care that it was so late because it was one adventure after another and in the end I felt like I had lived an episode of “I Love Lucy” she was just a fun person and I feel privileged to have known her and her Family. My sincere condolences to all of the Heaton family.
From Sherri Jackson:
My love and prayers go to the Heaton family. I got to know many of this great family quite along time ago. My life is better because I got to rub shoulders with many of you, you hold a special place in my heart!!!
From Michelle Lott:
I never heard your mother speak an unkind word. She was so kind and welcoming to this homeless military brat. When visiting your home, I always felt like just another one of her kids. I remember her painting with grandma often. They did a lot of laughing. She raised great kids and I truly value the memories made in your home. My life is better for having known you all. Thank you! Hugs and prayers coming from Blackfoot.
