Carolyn Tripp

Carolyn Taylor Tripp, Age 64, of Inkom, ID, passed away peacefully following a brief yet aggressive illness at a local hospital January 13, 2014 surrounded by her family.
Carolyn was born in Butte, Montana, the daughter of John Thomas and Delilah (Weeks) Taylor. When she was two, her family moved to Moreland, Idaho and when she was four, they moved to Blackfoot, ID where she attended public schools, graduating from Blackfoot High School in 1967.
Carolyn married John Tripp on May 18, 1969. They moved their young family to Inkom in 1976 and were later divorced on May 18, 2003.
Carolyn enjoyed bowling, and was involved on a league for many years; she enjoyed fishing, water aerobics, playing pinochle, participating in a supper club, and keeping up with family on Facebook. She treasured the joy her little grandchildren brought into her life. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was always serving those friends and neighbors she had opportunity to help. To her children, grandchildren, and siblings, she was the most amazing person they could imagine; to those who were her friends, she was the sister they never had, but always hoped for…she will be dearly missed.
Carolyn is survived by her daughter, Cindy L. (Jorge) Perez, Hubbard, Oregon; son, Johnny F. (Michelle) Tripp, Pocatello, Idaho; three grandchildren, Jonathan, Delilah, and Alesha, Pocatello, Idaho; a sister, Colleen (Gary) Adams, Moreland, Idaho; a brother, Kevin (Brenda) Taylor, Blackfoot, Idaho; and several nieces and nephews. Carolyn was preceded in death by her parents, John T. and Delilah Weeks Taylor; brothers, John Clarence (Kelly) Taylor; Larry Taylor; Jerry Taylor; Carl Thomas Taylor; and Gordon Wylie Taylor.
