Carol Christine Carpenter Morris

Carol was a devoted wife, mother, sister, nurse, and friend whose warmth, laughter, and love enriched the lives of all who knew her. She was married for 47 years to the love of her life and soulmate, Charles Morris, who preceded her in death in 2013. Carol was also preceded in death by her son, Steven Gary Morris in 1968. She is survived by her sons, William Morris (Anne Corley) and Brian Morris (Salvatore DiCuffa), of Tallahassee, Florida; her sister, Betty Lomonaco of McDonough, Georgia; and many extended family members and friends who will miss her dearly.

Family was at the center of Carol's life. As a mother, Carol created a happy and loving home where her children were encouraged to become independent, thoughtful adults. Her humor was just one of the many gifts she gave to her sons and the joy she shared with her family created countless cherished memories. Time spent with Carol was filled with laughter, music, warmth, and genuine affection. She treasured her close family relationships and remained devoted to those she loved throughout her life.

A dedicated and hardworking professional, Carol began her career as a clerk with the Bank of Washington County. Determined to pursue her calling in healthcare, she attended Wallace Community College at night and earned her Registered Nurse license. She went on to serve patients in hospitals and nursing homes before accepting a leadership role as Director of Nursing at Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee, Florida, where she worked until her retirement. Her career reflected her personality- filled with compassion, commitment, and an innate desire to care for others.

Carol's legacy lives on in the laughter she inspired, the lives she touched through her nursing career, and the love she gave so freely to her family and friends. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
