Carrole was deeply devoted to her sons and her extended family. In-between raising her children, she completed a bachelor's degree in accounting and managed all the affairs of her family's business. She loved teaching, painting, and flowers. She excelled as an elementary school and a homeschool teacher. She was an accomplished artist and a certified Bob Ross painting instructor.
She loved her Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. In the last couple of years, when she often was too sick to read, she listened to sermons, especially by her favorite preacher, Dr. Voddie Baucham. She truly believed ''''¦that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.'' (Rom. 8:28)
A memorial service will be held at Roller-Owens Funeral Home, 5509 JFK Blvd., North Little Rock, on Monday, February 7, at 2:00 p.m. with Dr. Jeffrey Johnson officiating.
