Christine Wheeler Carson, 73, passed away peacefully in her home on September 18, 2024, in Mesa, Arizona. She was born May 26, 1951, in Ogden, Utah, and lived a life full of love, service, passion and dedication to her family, her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the world around her.
Christine married Baron Carson, on September 20, 1980, after meeting at a kissing booth at a single adult event sponsored by their church. Barry and Christine brought 3 boys each to the marriage to create an instant family. However, feeling that the family was incomplete, they added two beautiful baby girls into the fold. Together they built a home filled with warmth, love, and kindness. She was known for her selflessness and incredible sewing skills, crafting beautiful pieces that brought joy to those around her. Christine’s love for the outdoors reflected her adventurous spirit, and she found great happiness spending time with her family.
Christine is survived by her devoted husband, Baron, and their loving children: David (Kathryn), Baron Jr (Cindi), Craig (Deise), Ryan (Susie), Devon, Jeff (Aubrey), Courtney, and Missy. She was a proud grandmother to Taylor, Chase, David, Bryce, Jenna, Nichole, Kenzie, Brady, Jadie, Lily, Holly, Wes, Riley, Morgan, Forrest, Drew, Tatum, Avery, Hailey, Katelyn, Lauren, Adam, Aaron, Andrew, Scout, Rivers, Talon, Rainer, August, and Jackson, and the cherished great-grandmother of 12 great-grandchildren. Her legacy of love and kindness will live on through each of them.
Christine is also survived by her loving siblings: Susan, Dennis, Gary, Greg, Leslie, Winn, Cheryl, Bryan. She has been reunited with her parents: John Wayne and Pricilla Dean (Snyder) Wheeler and her brother Donny, all who passed before her.
Funeral services will be held on October 4, 2024, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 5620 E Adobe Rd, Mesa, AZ 85205. A viewing will begin at 10 a.m., followed by the service at 11:30 a.m. Christine will be laid to rest at the City of Mesa Cemetery.

I worked with Sister Carson in the temple and was so sorry to hear of her passing. She will be missed. She was always so kind and cheerful. I enjoyed her. My prayers will be with all her family.
She was an angel, and my little sister. My heart aches. I always admired her gentle fortitude, wisdom, love, and spirituality. Thank you Barry, for being there for her.
