Carol Permann

Carol Ann Permann returned home on June 30, 2016, after a brief, but courageous battle with cancer. She passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her loved ones.

Carol Ann Christensen was born on April 16,1949, in Twin Falls, Idaho, to Wes and Armrell Christensen. She was the second of four daughters. Carol grew up in Twin Falls, Idaho, where she attended school, graduating in 1967.

After finishing high school, she attended Brigham Young University where she met Steven Permann. They were married on March 22, 1968. Steve and Carol were blessed with four children, Shane, Heidi, Cody and Misty. She considered her children and grandchildren as her greatest accomplishments, and they brought her tremendous happiness.

Carol had talents beyond measure, and she did everything to perfection. She was a remarkable seamstress, picture framer, calligrapher, floral arranger and baker. She also made pottery, macrame and jewelry. Her hands were rarely still as she spent many hours crocheting intricate doilies. She also loved plants, flowers and animals.

Carol was blessed with a talent for music. She played the violin and piano, and she possessed a beautiful singing voice. She passed the gift of music on to her children. Nothing brought her greater joy than listening to her children play music.

Carol is survived by her husband, Steven Permann; her four children, Shane (Erin), Heidi (Bladi), Cody (Amber) and Misty (Zachary); seven (soon to be eight) grandchildren; and her three sisters, Sherry Call, Barbara Miner and Joyce Scheele. She was proceeded in death by her parents.

Carol believed that the two everlasting gifts she could bestow upon her children were roots and wings. Her legacy will live on through the roots and wings she gifted to her family, and she will forever remain rooted in their hearts while she soars free on her new wings.

Funeral services will be held for Carol at 2 p.m. Friday, July 8, 2016, at Wood Funeral Home East Side (963 S. Ammon Road) in Ammon, Idaho. The family will visit with friends from 1-1:45 p.m. prior to services. Burial will be in Ammon Cemetery.
