Published by The New Orleans Advocate from Jun. 20 to Jun. 22, 2019.
Rebecca Carroll Pryor passed away peacefully on Monday, June 17, 2019 at the age of 88. She is survived by her beloved husband of 43 years, William D. "Bill" Pryor; her devoted children Christopher D. Randall and David L. Randall; her loving grandchildren Richard Kennedy, Kelli Randall, Carrie Wasserburger, Michael Randall, Taylor Randall, and Maiah Randall; her great grandchildren Ethan DeFeo, Ryder Wasserburger and Wynn Wasserburger; and one adoring brother, Milton Carroll. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, and friends. Rebecca was one of 12 children born to the late Samuel Levi Carroll and Mary Richards Carroll of Warrenton, NC. Rebecca was employed by a law firm headed by the eventual Lt. Governor of Virginia as a partner's paralegal where she helped win many notable cases. After relocating to Louisiana, she continued paralegal work until her retirement. She was very active in tennis and dancing, and was competitive in both, playing on several local and state tennis championship teams and a member of three dance teams that performed publicly. Rebecca was a confident person and had a zest for life.

I was saddened to hear the news about Becky. She was always a lot of fun to be with and had a great smile. I have fond memories of time spent with her on the courts. Always did love her hair! Beautiful! I will be thinking of you and praying for comfort for you during this difficult time.
