Carol Ann Applegate, aged 66, passed away peacefully on July 24, 2025, in Asheville, North Carolina. Born on March 23, 1959, in Monmouth, New Jersey, Carol lived a life rich with love for nature and her cherished surroundings. She found immense joy in the majestic beauty of the mountains and held a special fondness for bears, creatures she admired for their strength and majesty.

Carol was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Robert and Bertha Applegate. She is lovingly remembered by her sister, Karen Parks, and her brother, Robert Applegate, along with his wife, Jean. Her memory will also be cherished by her nieces, Sherri Johnston and Kristen Shin, and by her two grandnieces and three grandnephews, who brought her great joy and happiness.

Carol's gentle spirit and deep appreciation for the natural world touched the hearts of those who knew her. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends, whose lives she enriched with her warmth and kindness.
