Carole Strong

Carole Ann Strong, a beacon of selflessness, love, and generosity, passed away at the age of 63 on November 8, 2025, in Phoenix, Arizona surrounded by her loved ones. Born on January 28, 1962, in Pueblo, Colorado, Carole's early years were a testament to the enduring spirit that she carried throughout her life.

Carole found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Practical and sentimental, she loved what she had and never took anything for granted. All that she valued and treasured, she held onto with passion and conviction. A devoted animal lover, she advocated for and showed compassion for all creatures. Her animals were an extension of her family and recipients of her deep and unconditional love.

Her marriage to Lance was a partnership built on mutual respect and love. They shared an unbreakable bond that began in their early teenage years. Married for a remarkable 44 years, their love stood the test of time. Together, they created a home filled with laughter, understanding, and support. Carole's daughters, Brittany and Ashley, were the center of her universe. She instilled in them the values of compassion and strength, and they will carry her legacy forward in their actions and memories.

Carole's grandchildren, Jacob, Jayce, Justin, along with Sailor, brought immeasurable joy to her life. She reveled in their accomplishments, big and small, and was their unwavering cheerleader. Her eyes would light up with pride at the mention of their names, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

In her leisure time, Carole found solace in the company of her family. Her home was an oasis of warmth, where family gathered to share laughter and love. Carole's presence was a comforting constant, and her ability to love unconditionally was her greatest gift to those who knew her.

As we bid farewell to Carole, we celebrate a life lived with an open heart and a generous spirit. She was a cherished soul that was the guiding light to her family and a loyal friend. Carole's legacy of love and selflessness will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know her.

We take comfort in knowing that Carole's spirit will live on through the cherished memories we hold. Her indelible mark on this world will not be forgotten, and her love will continue to be felt across the generations. Carole Ann Strong will be deeply missed, yet her story of kindness, devotion, and warmth and humor will be recounted for years to come.

A memorial service will be held at Shadow Mountain Mortuary, located at 2350 E. Greenway Road, Phoenix, AZ 85022, on December 14, 2025, from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm.
