Carol Shull
February 8, 1936 - January 23, 2022
Carol Jean (Opie) Shull, 85, of Ft. Lupton, Colorado, passed away January 23, 2022 at her home. She was born February 8, 1936 in Denver, Colorado to William and Esther (Tippett) Opie and grew up in Denver. Her father was born in Aspen and when she was young, her family would take annual camping trips to a mountain lake near Aspen. She loved those trips and often reminisced about them. She attended Colorado A&M (which later became Colorado State University) in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and was studying voice and piano performance, when she met George B. Shull. They were married June 25, 1955, shortly after he graduated from Colorado A & M. They honeymooned in a cabin in the Boulder Canyon, then packed up their belongings and continued their honeymoon as they traveled via the Black Hills, Lake Superior, Niagara Falls, and Montreal, Canada, before finally arriving in Connecticut, where George started his first engineering job, at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Company. Carol also got a job at Pratt & Whitney, in the office. They soon became a family – their first seven children were born in Connecticut. Their next child, Dana Lee, was born after they moved back to Denver; she died when she was only six months old. They moved away from Colorado two more times, to Idaho (where Doug was born) and California, each time returning to Colorado for several years between George’s aerospace jobs in other locations, and they finally retired in Ft. Lupton. Carol loved being a mom. While in Connecticut, she helped with a Girl Scout troop and enjoyed going camping with the troop. Over the years she also was active in the churches she attended, frequently singing WEBB
in the choir, playing piano and organ, and more recently, helping with a puppet ministry. She also taught Sunday School and served as the Sunday School superintendent at one of the churches. She had a heart for babies and young mothers and knit baby items for newborns and for caring pregnancy centers. She started the Open Arms Pregnancy Center which had two locations - in Brighton and Ft. Lupton - and she was the director for a number of years. Other interests involved sewing, reading and collecting things; she had collections of dolls, teddy bears, teapots, and crèches. Carol is survived by these children: George Daniel (Theresa) Shull, Deborah Ruth (Tom) Schesvold, Diane Carol (Rick) Perrin, Darrell William (Susan) Shull, Donna Lynn (David) Stall, Doreen Kay (Eric) Wiechert, daughterin-law Dionne Shull (wife of David Matthew Shull), Douglas James (Autumn) Shull; 16 Grandchildren: Trevor Shull, Joshua (Ezzy) Schesvold, Jennifer Schesvold, Matthew Schesvold, Abigail (Charles) Lutte, Joseph Perrin, Nathan Perrin, Jesse (Sadie) Shull, Jasper (Bill) Guildner, Andrew (Lea) Stall, Aaron Stall, Kate Stall, Nicholas Wiechert, Christopher Wiechert, Anthony (Kate) Albright, Santana Shull; and 6 greatgrandchildren: Imogen, Hannah, Evaline, Evelyn, Carolynn, Benjamin (and one more soon to arrive). She is preceded in death by her husband George Bolton Shull, her daughter Dana and her son David. A memorial service is planned for Saturday, March 12th at 10:30 am at Harvest Fellowship Church, 11401 E 160th Avenue, Brighton, CO 80602.
