Carroll will be deeply missed. For most of my school age years she was a second mother. There were some great adventures, who can forget the hurricane at the beach. I am sure my mother was there to greet her. The two friends together again. I am blessed to have had her in my life.

What a sweet person… I recall the time at Mark and Lea’s, I was sitting on the couch and Mr. And Mrs. Parsons stopped in. Someone noticed that I had a hole in my sock! We all laughed. So much love in that family. You have your mothers smile LeaLea, carry it proudly! Lea and family, I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I just heard of Carroll’s passing and want to send my sympathy to the family. Carrroll was my classmate at Beebe School of Nursing and graduated together. She was a friend who always had a kind word to say about others. She always gave excellent nursing care to her patients, loved her family dearly and was an exceptional cook. She will be missed by many. Love Carole Gibson
