82, passed away on Nov. 27, 2022, after living a long fulling life with family and friends. Carol was born on Sept 10, 1940, in Lexington, Kentucky but lived most of her life in Louisville with her parent’s Anna Marie and Orman Lyle.
Carol is survived by her children; Dana Lynn Showalter, Eric Sean Highley (Patti), and Adam Todd Highley (Missy); 9 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, and many other loved relatives and friends.
Carol was preceded in passing by her loving husband of 58 years, Lonnie Highley, daughter Abby and both of her parents.
Carol was a compassionate and loving wife, an incredible mother and was a friend to everyone. Although she was a wonderful mother to her children, she was often referred to as a second mom to many. Everyone was always welcomed to her house and heart.
“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
― Washington Irving
