Carol Diemer

In Loving Memory of Carol Elaine Diemer

01/28/1937 – 11/04/2026

Carol Elaine Diemer, age 89, passed away peacefully on November 4, 2026, surrounded by loved ones.
Born on January 28, 1937, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Edward Arthur Jones and Bernadine Parker. As a young child and due to hard times, Carol's family lived in a tent for two years. Carol married Ralph Vallee Diemer (deceased) on March 3,1953 in California where they lived until 1990 when they moved to Utah so Carol could be around her 4 crazy sisters. What a merry group they were and she outlived them all. Carol and Ralph were the parents of two children, Diana Elaine and Michael Ralph Diemer (both deceased). She is the grandmother of 3 and great grandmother of 9.

In her professional career Carol worked many years at the Nut Tree, a famous restaurant in California where she proudly served meals to the rich and famous. Later in life she worked as a salesclerk at Macy's where she spent most of what she earned on the same things she sold (many of which we found still new in the box).

Carol loved her dogs with a passion. Jacques, Peanut, Bridget and Chico, and probably others, who brought her and Ralph so much joy. Their ashes are being buried along with her and Ralph.

Carol enjoyed painting ceramics, arranging flowers, decorating her home, jewelry and driving a clean car. And do not forget her morning coffee.

Carol was a strong willed, independent woman who lived life on her terms right to the very end.

Carol is survived by her 3 grandchildren, Michael Diemer, Curtis Diemer and Rachael Smith along with 9 great grandchildren. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

She will be forever loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten. She truly was one of a kind.

A graveside service will be held on Wednesday November 25, 2026 at Veterans Memorial Cemetery,11711 South Camp Williams Road at 11:00 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Carol's name to The Humane Society of Utah.
