Officiating was Rev. R.B. Moore of the First United Methodist Church of Homer. Carole was born in Haynesville. She grew up in the Homer Oilfield and married her high school sweetheart, L.E.

Carole became a Christian at a young age and served her Lord faithfully at the Homer Oilfield Baptist Church, Calvary Baptist, and the First United Methodist of Homer. She will be remembered as a devoted wife, loving mother, doting grandmother, caring sibling, and attentive friend. Carole enjoyed planning holidays for her family that were special times of love, celebration, and food. There was nothing she enjoyed more than the laughter and joy of her family around the table! Carole graduated from Homer High School and attended business school. She worked at Claiborne Electric Co-op for many years as well as Kendrick Insurance Agency. She is preceded in death by her parents and loving husband.
