Carole Stinnett

            Carole Stinnett, 78, of The United States, passed away on Wednesday, October 12, 2016 at NHC Healthcare of Desloge.  She was born on January 6, 1938 in Shady Springs, West Virginia to the late Harold Kingsley Crook and Mamie Bernice (Vandal) Crook. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother Doug Crook and sister-n-law Judy Crook.

            Carole is survived by her children: Vicki Wilson, Pam Buck, Trish Halstead, Mike Richmond and wife Kim, Jeff Richmond, Scott Mertz and wife Shannon; seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.  Carole is also survived by her brother Johnny Crook, her niece Evette,and nephew Keith, all of whom love her dearly and will miss her greatly.  She was received into Heaven by our Father God with Granny and Judy waiting there for her.

            No one lived or loved life more than Carole, who remained active throughout her entire life.  She traveled the world, never met a stranger and was always quick to smile and find humor in even the most mundane situations.  She was especially active serving Jesus at Abundant Life Church in Indianapolis, Indiana.  She joyfully sang in the choir, assisted in the nursery, served school lunches and loved to work at the church's farmer's market.  She was surrounded with love and supported greatly by the Abundant Life community she so cherished.

    Carole was a one of a kind and she will be sorely missed..............until we see her again!  Amen!

   Private family service will be held at a later date.  Arrangements are under the direction of C.Z. Boyer & Son Funeral Home in Desloge.
