Cynthia Ruth
Hansen Carson
1949 ~ 2018
Lehi, Utah-Cynthia Ruth Hansen Carson was born on October 18, 1949, in American Fork, Utah, to Wendall Pulley Hansen and LaVon Bennett Hansen. Cindy came into this world the third of 13 children, stubborn as could be throughout her life until her death on October 25, 2018. Her childhood nickname was Beanos - though no one is certain why - as her siblings lovingly called her Cindy Bindy Beanos. She was a majorette and a cheerleader in high school, and her favorite snack after coming home from practice was a thick slice of grandma's homemade whole wheat bread and a big slab of peanut butter and a little honey. It was her favorite treat ever!
She was married and divorced to Bryan Boley Carson four times. However, even at the time of her passing Bryan wasn't sure if they had officially filed their divorce papers. Among the few items she had kept as keepsakes were love letters to dad, cards from him, letters from her parents and her sisters. She loved with intensity and could definitely hold her own in any type of argument. She loved her little puppy, Goldie, and would send us all pictures of her sitting on her lap or a video of her barking. She was so proud of her own independence and instilled that independence in her children. She would constantly want to make sure 'us girls' were able to "provide for ourselves".
Mom loved to bake cookies, make holiday treats and would dance all over the kitchen to the sounds of Kenny Rogers - The Gambler and Lady were two of her favorites. She also loved Jane Fonda and could do the vertical splits better than Jane herself. She loved her spandex leotards and leg warmers and would do a Jane Fonda workout video every single morning. She thought her son Tyler was so funny and spent most of her life either laughing at him or chasing him around with a yard stick. Mom was a true force to be reckoned with, and I'm pretty sure God is wondering now why he took her so soon. We are going to miss her smile, her laugh, her bright green eyes, and mostly her strength that always helped pull us through hard times like this.
Mom is survived by her four children: Tiffany Hamilton, Tyler Carson, Tasha Curry, Tori Jo Kelly; her possible husband - Bryan Boley Carson; 10 siblings - Candy Hansen Taylor, Carla Von Hansen Jones, Colleen Hansen Kelley, Camille Hansen Fowler, Charee Hansen Broadbent, Brian Bennett Hansen, Cheer Hansen Brems, Regan Bennett Hansen, Troy Wendell Hansen and Travis Bennett Hansen; 11 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild. She is proceeded in death by her parents - Wendall Pulley Hansen and LaVon Bennett Hansen, her brothers Randy Bennett Hansen and Bruce Bennett Hansen.
A graveside service will be held for Cynthia on Thursday, November 1 @ 10:00 a.m. at the American Fork City Cemetery.

I have known Cindy since I was in 4th grade. Her husband, Bryan, worked for my dad. They lived across the
street from the "Shop." I also tended their two oldest kids,
Tiffany & Tyler.
Cindy was also a hair dresser, and did my mom's hair and
mine. She was the first person in the "Hansen Family" that I knew. 13 kids: Candy, Randy, Cindy, Carla, Colleen, Camille, Charee, Brian, Cheer, Bruce, Regan, Troy, and Travis. Brian is my age.
I have taught a few of Cindy's nieces and nephews:
AJ, Ryan, Seth & Suzanne (aka, Suki...twin to Seth) Adamson (Carla), Weston Broadbent (Charee), Dakota Hansen (Brian).
Cindy is also the grandmother of Witni Carson (McAllister) from Dancing With the Stars! Her dad is Tyler.

Funny that his first name is her last name.
Witni married Carson on New Years Eve,
December 31, 2015,
in the
Salt Lake LDS Temple.
Everywhere lists her wedding date as
January 1, 2016.
That was the day of the "ring ceremony" and reception.
(Located at "Noah"s, about 2 miles from my condo)
I knew it wasn't January 1, because:
1. The temples are NOT opened on New Year's Day
2. I saw her announcement from Aunt Cheer
