Anne Becky Rebecca Carroll

Anne Rebecca “Becky” Carroll, 78, exemplified the characteristics of a Proverbs 31 woman. She was worth far more than rubies. Her husband, the late Rudy Carroll, had full confidence in her and lacked nothing of value. She brought goodness, not harm, all the days of her life to her family: Billy & Jean, Everett & Betty Lou, Jimmy & Ruby, Jean & Gene, Ellen Nora & William, Wallace & Faye, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and neighbors. She enjoyed sewing, and crafted beautiful quilts and flags. She woke up early each morning, made preparations for her family, and organized her day. Becky knew the value of her work at the Hanover County Registrar’s Office. Additionally, she was a skilled and diligent homemaker. She made the best zucchini bread and stew. Becky was tenderhearted and would help anyone in need. She was active at Lebanon United Methodist Church, where she helped with various mission projects. Becky spoke with wise, kind words. She had a quiet strength and faced each day with a smile. Her children, David Carroll and wife, Billie; Mark Carroll; Stephen Carroll and wife, Trena; grandsons Vincent and Ethan Carroll, love her and call her blessed. Many women do noble things, but Becky surpassed them all. “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.” (Proverbs 31:30-31)
