Carol Rudd Langston, 86, transitioned from this life on Feb. 3, 2018 at Big Bend Hospice.
Carol was born March 14, 1931 to the late Theo and Audrey McKenzie Rudd. Carol moved from Sopchoppy to Tallahassee as a young woman and made Tallahassee her home until her death. She was employed by Capital City Bank for many years and then Bill's Bookstore where she retired in 1999.
Carol was a member of John Wesley United Methodist Church. She had attended the Women's Joy Circle in which she made many close friends and enjoyed their fellowship.
Carol was an avid FSU fan and attended the football, basketball and baseball games until her health would no longer allow her. However, she continued to follow and pull for her beloved Seminoles.
She was predeceased by her former husband and father of her children, Dayton Langston; and brother-in-law, Charles Berry.
She is survived by her children, Sharon Langston (Charmaine) of Gainesville, Brenda Connell (Neal) of Tallahassee, and Wayne Langston (Pam) of Thomasville; sister, Valma Berry of Chattahoochee; brother, Tillman Rudd (Marion) of Sopchoppy; four grandchildren, Seirra Langston Wheeler, Jarred Langston, Tyler Langston and Kelly Connell Jonke.
The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff of TMH and Elder Care Services for the companionate care given and special services over the years. And a sincere thank you to her many close friends who diligently stayed in touch with her and brought her meals on a regular basis.
Visitation will be Tuesday from 6 to 8 at Beggs Funeral Home, 3322 Apalachee Parkway, Tallahassee FL 32311 or (850) 942-2929, and a Celebration of Life will be Wednesday at 1 p.m. at John Wesley United Methodist Church, 1689 Old St. Augustine Road in Tallahassee.

Look up to the sky
Now tell me what you see
A cloud, the moon, possibly the sun
Many answers there will be
When I look up to the sky
I'll tell you what I see
I see a mother
And she's looking back at me
She tells me she didn't want to leave us
But it was time for her to depart
It was the hardest thing she had to do
And it's breaking her heart
She tells me we mustn't be sad
Because finally she's pain free
She's found her place in heaven
Underneath a blossom tree
She'll always be there to guide us
When we feel we've lost the way
She'll always be there to comfort us
And wipe those tears away
She'll always be there to share our joy
And laugh at the jokes we make
In order to feel her presence
Only a little imagination it'll take
She may be in the form of a butterfly
Or simply a floating feather
Or hovering over like a busy bee
Or simply part of the weather
You've all come here to say your farewell
But for me it's not goodbye
If I want to see her, all I have to do
Is look up to the sky
Sweet dreams, Mama C

As volunteers for Elder Care Meals on Wheels, we would always look forward to seeing Carol on our Wednesday's route for many years. We always appreciated her positive, upbeat attitude, even when we knew she was ill. I recall one special day when we, along with some of the members of John Wesley UMC visited Carol with songs and guitar playing to lift her spirits. We will always remember her and are thankful to our Lord for the opportunity to serve in this small way. Love, grace and comfort to the family.
