Carol Ruth (Dedge) Harris peacefully passed away on Friday, March 13, 2026, at Sunridge Assisted Living Facility in Roy, Utah, at the age of 91.

Carol was born on February 20, 1935, in Baltimore, Maryland, to Alice Summers (Dedge) Gibeau and Thomas R. Dedge. As a young child, she moved with her family to Long Beach, California, where she was raised and lived until 1968. That year, she and her son, Warren, relocated to Layton, Utah, where she would build the next chapter of her life.

In 1970, Carol married Dean Harris. In 1974, Dean lovingly adopted Warren as his own son. Together, Carol and Dean shared 55 happy years of marriage.

Carol worked for many years as a senior administrative assistant and payroll clerk before retiring in the late 1970s.

She is survived by her husband, Dean Harris; her son, Warren Harris; her daughter-in-law, Mary Opp Harris; and her four grandchildren, Candace Ann Peterson (Paul), Brandy Lee Crosby (Andy), Randall Warren Harris (Katie), and Stacy Marie Grossi (Stephane). Carol was also a proud great-grandmother to Bryce Crosby, Vance, Maxim, Madeleine Peterson, Hanna, Maura, London Harris, Olivia, Luca, and Corbin Grossi.

She is further survived by her older sister, Lois Dedge Castillo of Apple Valley, California, as well as several nieces and nephews: David, Derek, and Douglas Castillo; Bill Dedge; and Marie Post.

Carol was preceded in death by her parents; her younger sister, Sharon Dedge; and her younger brother, Randall Dedge.

Carol will be remembered as a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunt. Her warmth, strength, and love for her family will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
