Mrs. Carroll was born September 20, 1933, in Belle, MO. She retired from Research Hospital after more than 25 years of service and then re-entered the workforce at the age of 63 as a dialysis nurse for DCI, which was supposed to be on-call or as needed. She ended up working more than 40 hours a week for an additional 17 years, until a month before her 80th birthday when vision problems surfaced and prevented her from performing the job any longer. Mrs. Carroll was an avid reader, known for always having a stack of romance novels lying on the table next to her favorite chair in the living room.

Mrs. Carroll was preceded in death by her parents, John and Laura Glandon; husband Alonzo “Lonnie” Carroll; grandson, Anthony Meunier; sisters, Daisy Scarlett and Shirley Carroll; and, brothers, Bob, James, Eugene, and John Scarlett.

She is survived by her daughter, Patricia Muenks and her husband, Doug Muenks; granddaughter, Angela Meunier; sisters, Nora Johnson and Dottie Sansoucie; and, several nieces and nephews.
