Carol was born Feb. 27, 1936, in Parker Dam, California, to Carl A. and Wanda Bushnell Pulsipher. Carol was sealed to her sweetheart, Galen J. Smith in the S.L. Temple on May 23, 1957. She met him while attending the U. of U., where she majored in Child Development. They traveled the world, as Galen was a pilot for United Airlines. They had 60 years together and delighted in the triumphs of their four sons; Bret (JeaNette) of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, Steve (the late Julie) of Bountiful, Scott (Jenna) of Bountiful, and Kendall, of Denver, Colorado.

She and her husband served a mission in Nauvoo from 2005 till 2007, and a Family Service mission for the Addiction Recovery Program. She and her husband were also ordinance workers in the Bountiful Temple for 10 years. She said of her callings, "Each has been a privilege and has allowed humility and growth. I love the Lord and know Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer." She lived by the adage, "Be good and do good."
