She grew up in Murray, Utah on a small family farm with her sister Barbara and brother Dennis. She attended schools in the area and graduated from Murray High School. In the summer between her junior and senior year she met her sweetheart, Kenneth Burnhope. Two years later they were married in the Salt Lake Temple on rainy May 10, 1957.

In the spring of 1964, they bought and moved into the family home in the Murray/Holiday area where they raised their family of one son and three daughters. She lived in her home until her death.

Carol loved going to the temple, being with family, reading books and doing crafts. In her life she was an active member of "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" where she held numerous callings in the Primary and Relief Society. She also belonged to the "Ladies of the Guard" which got her involved with the Festival of Trees, she was a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and a book club.

Carol loved to travel with her family and friends, some of her favorite places were Alaska, Peru, Israel, Scotland-England, the Panama Canal and Church History Sites. Camping with family was always fun and enjoyable as she taught all of us the names of the wildflowers. Most of all she loved her family and made sure we all knew she loved us, that was important to her.
