Carol shared 51 beautiful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Bobby Joe Herron, who preceded her in death. Together they built a life centered on love, and unwavering devotion to family.
She is survived by her children, Dawn Douglas (Robert) and Michael Herron, who were the pride of her life. She was affectionately known as “Gram” to her cherished grandchildren, Krystle Laws and Rachel Konarsh (Kevin), who brought her endless joy.
