Carma Barton Duncan

July 20, 1939 — September 29, 2015

Carma Barton Duncan, age 76 — a lifelong resident of Springville, Utah — passed away on September 29th, 2015. She departed this life in her home, surrounded by her loving family. Her death occurred after a valiant and inspiring fight with cancer. To the world, she was a mother. To our family she was the world. She will be missed more than any words can express.

Carma was born on July 20, 1939, in Springville to Daniel Martin Barton and Nellie Bird Barton. She married James S. Duncan on January 16, 1958. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan, Utah temple. Together they created a beautiful family legacy.

Carma had a zest for learning and was a voracious reader. She loved her daily walks, rides up the canyon, and working with her husband in her lovely yard. Carma was also a smart, consummate professional, who excelled in her service to Nebo School District. She was a witty and enormously fun person, who loved life and shared that love with anyone she happened to meet. Carma was an exceedingly generous person who welcomed many into her beautiful home. Her ability to discern the unique qualities of everyone she dealt with, and make them feel special, was perhaps her greatest gift to the world. And because of her overriding love for her family, she made sure that each one knew they were distinctive, talented, precious and loved.

Carma had a strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She was an active member of the Church, and served faithfully throughout her life. Moreover, she humbly put the gospel into practice. She was a selfless Christ-like example of unconditional love — a profile in faith, courage and commitment.

Carma was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her siblings, Bob & Dee Barton, Jess Barton, Dan Barton and Elaine & Arnie Brown. Her husband Jimmy D; her five children, Bart Duncan & Scott Tyler, Sheryl D. Myaer, Dan & Stacy Duncan, Melinda & David Williams and Dianne & Kerry Oman. She is also survived by her 17 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren and Pierre, Tillie and Sundance.

Our family would like to express our appreciation to Dr. Jefforey Thorpe, Dr. Nathan Rich and Dr. Brandon Barney and their wonderful staff of angels that assist them. We would also like to thank Margaret and Marsha from Intermountain Hospice for their gentle care of our Mother.

Funeral Services will be held at 1 p.m., Monday October 5, 2015 at the Hobble Creek Stake Center 495 S. Canyon Road, Springville, Utah. Friends may visit at the Wheeler Mortuary at 82 West 400 North, Mapleton, Utah Sunday October 4, 2015 from 6–8:00 p.m. and at the church Monday from 12–1:00 p.m. prior to services.
