She was 84. She spent her childhood on a farm in Bedrock, CO. When she started High School her mother bought a small house in Nucla and would bring the kids for School on Monday and go home to Bedrock on Friday evenings.

Her mother taught school for many years also. As a young girl Carol enjoyed visiting with friends, learning to sew and cook and farm life. She entered items in the county fair.

She has one brother, Ben Morris Robb. She graduated from Nucla HS in 1951. She married Raymond Dean Latham on Oct 3, 1951 and they lived in Uravan where Ray was employed at Union Carbide.

Her father, Ben, eventually built them a house on the family farm in Bedrock so they moved there. They had one child-Gary Latham was born on Nov. 27, 1956.

Gary died in 2009. Ray moved to Blanding to work for Umetco/Union Carbide in 1985 and died in 1995. In approximately 2004 she sold her property in Bedrock and bought a house and moved to Nucla.

Carol enjoyed helping with dinners in the Bedrock/ Paradox community as well as square dancing, and cake decorating, gardening, genealogy, photography, visiting with friends and family, watching the news and keeping up with current events, and going to church. She is survived by her grandchildren-Tony (Kathy) Latham and their daughter Hailey of Palisade, CO, and Kyle (Sarah) Latham of Littleton, CO; her brother Morris (Jean) Robb of Tucson, AZ, and lots of nieces and nephews, and her daughter in law, Berta Latham. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and her son.

In her later years, she suffered from bad knees and Alzheimer’s. She was a kind and caring person and she will be missed greatly by many. She would often say “I was so grateful to have grown up on a farm in Bedrock” and “Any color is pretty as long as it’s Red”.
