Carroll will be remembered for her kind and gentle spirit. She led by example and taught us to love, accept, include and care for others. She was a steadfast support to those she loved. Her sensitive nature kept her attuned to the needs of others and she never failed to do what she could to meet those needs, particularly for her family. As her family, we received a lifetime of her gifts and will be eternally grateful. There is no greater legacy she leaves behind than the children and grandchildren she nurtured so that they could go into the world bearing these same gifts of love, empathy and kindness.
