Carol Ann Henrichsen

Carol Ann Bullock Henrichsen, of Pleasant Grove, Utah, passed away peacefully in her home on October 19, 2026. Carol Ann was born on September 27, 1939 in American Fork, Utah. She was the first of three daughters born to James Orval Bullock and Margaret Leah Bezzant. She was a farmer’s daughter, growing up learning to drive the tractor, sorting and peddling the apples and riding her horse, Maud, in the shadow of the mountains surrounded by cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents in her beloved Pleasant Grove. She has many fond memories of her days growing up in Utah serving as the Strawberry Days Queen, participating in the DeMilos marching team, Easter hikes to the G, attending Central Elementary School, playing jacks and going to American Fork Canyon for a picnic.

After graduating from high school, she married Keith A Henrichsen on June 17, 1957 in the Salt Lake Temple. Carol Ann wanted to see the world, and that adventure began when she and Keith headed to Logan where he attended Utah State University. After graduation, she and Keith headed to Ormond Beach, Florida; Huntsville, Alabama; Satellite Beach, Florida; Amesbury, Massachusetts; and San Jose, California which gave Carol Ann the opportunity to see the country and make friends along the way. She and Keith had the opportunity to travel and see many wonderful places in the world before they ended up back where they started in their hometown of Pleasant Grove.

Carol Ann was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving in many capacities over the years especially being the Craft Lady at Girls’ Camp . Carol loved many things including the beach, animals especially her two dogs Queenie and Pugzie, sewing, crafting, crocheting, playing the piano, camping, doing puzzles, bears, holidays, Kenny Rogers, the Sizzler, listening to the news, high school friends, collecting a spoon, a flag and a magnet from every place she visited, but most of all her greatest love is for her 7 children, 28 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren. She spent many hours sharing their interests attending their activities: soccer, baseball, and basketball games, dance and piano recitals, band and flag performances, and plays.

Carol is survived by her children: Lesa (Frank) Layland, Michelle Paxton, Denise (Chuck) Rubey, Scott (Tracie) Henrichsen, James Henrichsen, Amber (Matt) Oldham-Verdine; Talea (Randy) Christensen and her treasured grandchildren and great grandchildren in the area along with nieces and nephews.
