Carolyn POSTON Obituary

POSTON, Carolyn Emma passed away on November 16, 2017. She was a gracious woman and had a wonderful sense of humor. Born November 6, 1928 in Wildwood, NJ to Milton and Jessie Walling. Her family soon relocated to Arizona. Carolyn served the community as an Enrolled Agent and as President and Owner of Diebold Accounting and Tax Service Inc. She brought wisdom to her clients and patience, understanding, and kindness to her employees. She spoke fondly of her clients and how she learned from them. She believed in giving to those in need. Just as she gave to her community, she gave to her family and friends. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and great-aunt. Preceded in death by her beloved husband, William H. Poston; her parents and her brother, Charles Walling. Survived by her children, Dave Diebold (Virg) and Karen Fouquet (Chip); grandchildren, Erika Hunt and Laura Bond (Wyatt); great-grandchildren, Ben Hunt, Macauley and Soie Bond; siblings, Marge Miller (John), John Walling (Mary-Lou) and Kathy Borris (Dave) along with her cousins, nieces and nephews. With family and friends, she traveled the world. She enjoyed horse-back riding, skiing, camping, and the family cabin in Prescott. Most of all she enjoyed spending time with those she loved, especially her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought joy to her life. She will be greatly missed, but all the memories will live long in our hearts. Please come celebrate her life with us on 2:00 p.m., Saturday, December 9, 2017, at EAST LAWN PALMS MORTUARY. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Carolyn Poston's name to: Easterseals Blake Foundation.

Dear Karen,
I won't be able to attend the Celebration of Life for your mom because I will be out of town. Please know that you are, and have been, in my thoughts on almost a daily basis. Thank you for sharing this past several weeks with me as your mom started her journey towards Heaven. It has been a privilege.

She will always be in your heart and when you step out under the night sky I'm sure her light of love will be shining down from the new star that was created for her in the galaxy.

Cheers to Carolyn and the wonderful family that she raised, the values she shared, and the love that will endure throughout time!!!

In Peace and Friendship- Much love to you, Chip, and your family- Jude
