August 22, 1929 - August 20, 2020
On Thursday, August 20, 2020, Barbara LouiseCarroll, loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away at the age of 90.Barbara was born on August 22, 1929 in Corning, Arkansas to Leland and Pearl Mahaney. She worked at General Motors in Kokomo, Indiana for 26 years. She was married to Harold Hackett for 44 years and they raised two children. After his death, she was married to Sylvan Carroll for 20 years until he passed.
Barbara is survived by her children, Charles Hackett (Anabel) and Sandra Powers (Tony), 8 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, 15 great-great grandchildren, her siblings, JC Mahaney(Zelda), Katie Weirich (Raymond) and Laura Miller (Denny) and numerous nieces and nephews.
Barbara had a love for sports like bowling,basketball, marksmanship, tennis, but golfing was her passion. She was Ladies Club Champion at Indian Hills Country Club in Fairfield Bay, Arkansas ten times. She also enjoyed traveling, gardening, fishing and playing cards and games. She was actively involved in the Democratic Party for most of her life.
While Barbara enjoyed life to the fullest, what she loved the most was her family. There was never a time when she didn't welcome them and feed them and she had an amazing way of making everyone feel special. She shared this light and love with her family and friends, and that is her everlasting legacy. A true matriarch, she will be missed by so many.

To Ms. Barbara's Family,
I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I know this is rather late, but due to all the craziness that's going on, and I don't read local papers, I didn't learn of her passing until I was reviewing Roller's obituary site for another passed friend. She was such a beautiful, kind and sweet lady - always very caring and concerned. I loved her energy and passion for all that she believed in. I first met her thru the Van Buren County Democratic Party when I ran for the position of County Clerk. She was always so very encouraging and supportive. Again, I am so sorry for the lateness of this post, but I just could not let her passing go by without letting you all know how very special she was to a lot of people.
Sincerest and deepest sympathies,
Rickey (Whillock) Bonds

I'm so sorry for all you've had to deal with, but just remember that it's not the last time you will see your loved ones. I have lost many myself and I have the faith that I will see them again. Only the passing of time makes it better in this life. May God give you peace and keep you keeping on. That's what your departed loved ones wants for you too. If Deanna and I can do anything to help you, just let us know. God Bless You and your family.
