Carol left Cincinnati, Ohio to join the Marine Corps and proudly served during World War II stationed at Marine Corps Air Station, Santa Barbara, California where she met the love of her life, Technical Sargent, Jesse Champion. After completing their military service, they moved to the Rio Grande Valley to raise their family where they spent over 65 years. Later, she moved to Houston to be close to her daughter. Carols favorite past time was gathering friends around a card table or two and enjoying an afternoon playing bridge. She was an avid fan of the San Antonio Spurs, she coached many basketball games from her living room.

Carol was a faithful member of the First United Methodist Church for many years and enjoyed the fellowship visiting and worshiping with all her friends. She would meet regularly with her walking and Winter Texan friends at Sunrise Mall for her morning walk and visit afterwards with a cup of coffee. She found time to work around the yard and tend to her many flowers and plants. These simple things in life always brought Mom great pleasure. She will be missed by all those who knew her.

The Family would like to express their gratitude to Treemont Skilled Nursing in Houston for all their care and attention to comfort our Mother. At Moms request a private Family Memorial Service was conducted in Houstonfollowed by Cremation.
