Carol Yudelson Brody

Carol was a proud graduate of the University of Alabama, where she participated in many activities including Mortar Board, Kappa Delta Pi Education Honorary, AEPhi Sorority (and served as president) and was appointed Clerk of Student Court by the president of the student body. It was at UA that she met her husband, Norman.

Her degree in Elementary Education initially brought her to Jacksonville where she taught in local elementary schools. She then taught in several public and private schools in Baton Rouge LA, where the family lived for 6 years. While in Baton Rouge, she also helped to co-found the first Jewish preschool in that city. After returning to Jacksonville in 1987, Carol spent time teaching at the Jacksonville Jewish Center and Etz Chaim.

Carol was a member of the Jacksonville Jewish community for more than 50 years, and was active in the Temple and JJC Sisterhoods, as well as ORT. She was a proud Grandma to Donovan and Sara, and loved making wonderful holiday celebrations for them, baking special treats and doing crafts.

Carol was predeceased by her parents, her brother, Marvin, who lost his life in World War II, and her husband of 52 years, Norman. She is survived by children Michelle Branly, Lisa (Rob) Smith and Jon (Kim) Brody, and grandchildren Sara Branly and Donovan (Ryan) Evans.
