Carolynn Yarrington Binkerd lost her long, courageous battle with lung cancer Aug. 20, 2020, at the age of 72. She was born May 26, 1948, to Earl A. Yarrington and Marion M. Brett Yarrington in Ogden, Utah.
Carolynn was not one to shy away from adventures. She married her soul mate, Robert C. Binkerd III, on Dec. 11, 1967, in Murray, Utah, and together they traveled from coast to coast. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who worked as an accountant and long-haul truck driver. She especially cherished her time in Ft. Bridger, Wyoming, where she lived for 25 years. She was a lifetime member of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veteran of Foreign Wars 2221, Laramie, Wyoming, and auxiliary member of the Fraternity of Eagles, Laramie, Wyoming and Tooele, Utah.
Carolynn is survived by her children Robert (Dot) Binkerd, IV of Laramie, Wyoming; and Rebecca (Chad) Darling of Tooele, Utah. She is also survived by her siblings Virginia VanPatten, Susan Yarrington, Larry Yarrington, David Yarrington, Richard Yarrington; grandchildren Melinda, Anthony, Robert IV (Maria), Shane (Tracie), Chelsea, Thomas (Bree), Julia (Cameron), Byron (Alyssa) and Ekaterin; great-grandchildren Collin, Maverick, Nuna, Elizabeth, Ella, Bobby VI; numerous nieces and nephews; and her giant yorkie, Abbie. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and sisters Helen and Joyce.
Carolynn’s family would like to thank the staff at Rocky Mountain Care – Willow Springs for the love and support they provided, especially over the last few months. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in her name to the Huntsman Cancer Institute or a charity close to your heart. A party to celebrate her life will be announced at a later date.
