Carol Ann Royster

Carol Ann Heater (Royster) December 7, 1950 – December 31, 2024 Carol Ann Heater, age 74, of Medford Oregon, passed away peacefully on December 31, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on December 7, 1950, in Corpus Christi, Texas and was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend to many. Carol was the proud mother of eight children, seven of whom survive her: Jason, Jennifer, Jessica, Sarah, Anna, Christie, and Michael. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Daniel, who passed away in 2013. Carol was also the cherished grandmother of 22 grandchildren, who were a source of immense joy in her life. Carol worked as a Food Assistant Manager at Fred Meyer, where she was known for her hard work, kindness, and dedication to her colleagues and customers. She began her career with Fred Meyer in 1998 and made lasting friendships with many she worked alongside. A peaceful soul, Carol found great comfort and strength in her faith. She loved the Lord and lived a life full of grace, humor, and warmth. Her sassy wit and infectious laughter made her a light in the lives of all who knew her. Carol's love for her family was boundless, and her absence leaves a deep void in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, and all who were lucky enough to call her a friend. She will be missed dearly. Until we meet again, Mama. We love you. We invite you to join us as we honor and celebrate the life of Carol Heater.
