Carol Osborn Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 13, 2025.
Carol was born in Wilmar, California on May 2, 1943, lived in Forbestown, California for 38 years, went home to heaven on June 26, 2025 reminding us that God's timing is best. During her 82 years, Carol was quick to say "yes" with a smile ...."yes, I will live my life to the fullest, I will travel the world, I will savor my ice cream, I will drive 10 hours to help with my grandchild, I will bake 40 apple pies for your fundraiser, I will spread kindness as I enter a room, I will pray for you... and yes, I will love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength." Life was better having known Carol. She was a beloved wife, mother of 3, grandmother of 9, great grandmother of 7, and a friend to all. As we reflect on Carol's life, we are encouraged to love God, love others, and maybe savor some ice cream along our life journey as well... and all with a smile.

A memorial service will be held for Carol at the Challenge Community Church (10080 La Porte Road, Challenge) Saturday, September 20th 11am
