Carol was born October 1st. 1959 and was a lifelong resident of Eupora. She taught in the public school system for over 28 years. She loved all her students dearly and was considered by many to be a "second mom." Carol loved sharing stories about teaching experiences and spoke fondly of her students. Telling these stories made her laugh and always kept those around her entertained. She had the best sense of humor and most infectious laugh. Carol had a deep love for others and did her best to spread God's word. She was a devoted member of First Baptist Church of Eupora. She loved the members of the Bettye Stewart Sunday School class and cherished every Sunday she was able to attend. She taught GA's, Acteens, and led the Children's Church program for 28 years. She also attended numerous summer children's and youth camps. She had such a passion for helping tell kids about God. She will be dearly missed by all that loved her, but there is comfort in knowing she's pain free and walking those Streets of Gold. She is in Heaven taking pictures of all the beautiful sights and laughing with all that have gone before her
