Carolene Brock Eller

A graduate of Wilkes Central High School (Class of 1959) and High Point College, Carol spent 30 years as a kindergarten teacher and had a special gift for guiding and encouraging young children.

A woman of strong faith, Carol was an active member of her church and community in Summerfield, NC, where she and Rodney raised their four daughters. After retirement, she continued her involvement in her church in Matthews, NC, until she was no longer able to attend.

Carol is survived by her four daughters: Lisa White (Kevin) of Nokomis, FL; Susan Barbour (Jon) of Matthews, NC; Amanda Harding (Roger) of Mint Hill, NC; and Rebecca Bennett (Rick) of Maryville, TN. She is also survived by her eleven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, in whom she found great joy as their “Mema / Memaw”. Additional surviving relatives include her brother, Gene Brock of Rockledge, FL and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Rodney Eller; her parents, Julius and Pansy Brock; and her brother, Larry Brock.

Carol was laid to rest beside her husband, Rodney, at Mount Lawn Cemetery in North Wilkesboro, NC. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be directed to Via Hospice at https://www.viagiving.org/donating
