2009-11-06 |
Mr. Thomas Allen Carroll, age 86, of Moreland, died November 5, 2009 at WellStar Douglas Hospital. A native of Coweta County, he was born April 15, 1923 near Grantville, Georgia. He was one of seven children born to the late Joseph and Pearly Deloris Payton Carroll. His brothers and a sister preceded him in death, as did his parents. Mr. Carroll was a strong and self-reliant individual. This was a characteristic instilled in him at an early age following the death of his mother at the age of three. Thomas was smitten by the love of the girl who would become his precious wife, Ruby Foster Carroll, and it was a love story that continued for over 60 years until her death 2 years ago. Mr. Carroll spent his working years at Trimedge, which came to be known as The Bonnell Company and later worked for Motor Convoy prior to his retirement. Family and friends were the focus of Mr. Carroll's life. His daughter, Nancy Carroll Jones, survives him. Also surviving are his grandchildren Blake N. (Ashley Stempson) Jones and Clay A. Jones. There is one great grandchild, Ann Clay. Funeral arrangements are by McKoon Funeral Home at 38 Jackson Street where the family will receive friends on Friday evening between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. The funeral service will be on Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 11:00 AM in the McKoon Funeral Home chapel with Reverend Jerry Eley officiating. Interment will be in Southview Cemetery in Moreland.
