Carol Marie Powell Pullan Webber

Mom, Grandma, Grandma Great

January 21, 1940 - August 10, 2025

Carol Webber, 85, of Vernal, Utah, left this world on Sunday, August 10, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s Disease. With her loving family by her side, she passed away peacefully in her home while being serenaded by Willie Nelson.

Carol was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on January 21, 1940, to Alvin and Belle Powell. She was raised in Salt Lake City and attended West High School. Carol married Lawrence Pullan in Salt Lake City and had five children, then divorced. She married Bud Webber on June 30, 1985, and gained four step-children. They adopted one more daughter.

Carol spent the majority of her career working for Salt Lake County. She began her career typing vehicle registrations for the entire county. Over the years she held many positions in the SL County Assessor’s office, eventually rising to become one of the first women appraisers in the county. She even ran for the office of County Assessor. Carol was breaking glass ceilings for women long before the term was coined. With her professionalism, class, dignity and humor, she was an inspiration to young women.

Carol was able to retire early and began the next phase of her life. She learned to scuba dive and traveled to exotic diving sites around the world. She also adopted and loved another baby. She raised llamas, learned to shear them and spun their wool into yarn. Her home in Overton, Nevada, was home to a huge variety of species, from emus to turtles and everything in between. But, animals aside, if you asked any one of her grandkids what they loved most about Overton, it would be Grandma’s grand Easter egg hunt. She absolutely adored watching the kids race across the lawn for those prized eggs full of candy and change.

She leaves behind with heavy hearts her daughters, Tamara Pullan, Laurie Montgomery, Kimberly Bender and Sammantha White Lusk (Travis); son Shane Pullan; daughter in-law Jeannie Duncan; step-children Roques Ann Fillerup (Craig) and Ronda Larsen (Tom); 16 grandchildren; 30 great grandchildren; 6 great great grandchildren; 13 step-grandchildren and 24 step-great grandchildren; brother Calvin Powell (Joyce); sisters Cathy Wolfe and Cindy Summerill (Jim).

As sad as we are, we know that there is joyous reunion in heaven with her husband Bud Webber; son Brent Pullan; sons-in-law Max Montgomery and Kevin Bender; great great grandson Conor Taft; step-sons Rusty and Randee Webber; step-grandson Cole Davis; and her parents, Belle Wyatt and Alvin Powell.

As Carol’s illness progressed, she received care and support from her many family members. She expressed her gratitude to those family members and we do, too.

Carol was a force to be reckoned with throughout her life. We know of no other woman that was classier, stronger, more determined or loving than our mom.

Services will be held on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at Blackburn Vernal Mortuary, 15 East 100 North, Vernal, Utah, beginning at noon. Internment of Carol’s ashes will follow at Rock Point Cemetery, 2250 W 2500 N, Vernal, then a luncheon and celebration of her well lived life will be held at Ashley Valley Community Park, 500 N 900 W, Vernal. We chose the park for the playground because her grandkids ruled her world!
