Carolyn Kay Shinners

Our baby girl, Carolyn Kay Shinners, passed away August 16, 2008 in Boxford, Massachusetts at the age of 20. She was born in Boston, Massachusetts on April 7, 1988 to John William Shinners and Kathleen Helene Clark.



Carolyn was one of a kind! To most she was quiet and reserved, but to those who knew her best, she was an excellent athlete full of adventure and mischief. Her love for the outdoors began early as a ruff-tuff tomboy, who worked hard and protected her brothers as much as they protected her. Her great loves in life were her dog Oscar, playing hockey, and her family, especially Poppy, Grandma, Nana and Aunt Noreen. She was Poppy's little ice princess!



Carolyn graduated from Springville High School in 2007 then went to live with her father, where she was evolving into a very kind, loving, and beautiful young woman. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Carolyn leaves behind her parents; brothers, Mike Shinners and his wife Heidi of Bradford, Mass., Joe and Tom Shinners of Springville, Utah; grandparents, Fred & Maureen Clark of Springville, Utah, Mary Shinners and the Late George Shinners of Everett, Mass.; and many aunts, uncles and cousins. She was preceded in death by her Uncle James Shinners and her Aunt Carol Shinners.



Funeral services for Carolyn will be held Monday, August 25, 2008 at 11 am at the Spring Creek 4th Ward Chapel, 400 N 400 E, Springville. Viewings for family and friends will be held Sunday, August 24 from 6-9 pm at Wheeler Mortuary, 211 E 200 S, Springville and Monday, at 10 am at the church, before the services.
