Carol Lynn Erwin, beloved wife, mother, Nana, and friend, passed away peacefully on December 28th, 2024, at her home under the watchful care of her family. She was 65 years old.
Carol was born to Robert Earl and Carolyn Sue Schmitt on April 17th, 1959, in Cleves, Ohio. Carol married Terry Erwin on September 27th, 2019.
She was known for her compassion, generosity, humor, kindness, and resilience. Carol had a career as a dedicated nurse practitioner. She enjoyed quilting blankets for her loved ones, collecting antique furniture, and had a passion for music.
Above all, Carol cherished her family. She is survived by her husband, Terry Erwin; her son, Ryan Jaynes (Lani); her daughter, Jillian McNeely (Travis); grandchildren: Shiloh, Thaddeus, Laiken, Alden, Rook, Ryker, Emmeline, and Tulsi; her sister, Sharon Schmitt; her brother, Robert Schmitt, and her mother, Sue. She was preceded in death by her father, Robert.
Carol’s faith was the cornerstone of her life—she loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and she was a devoted member of Woodlawn Baptist Church. She will be sorely missed by her beloved family and friends.
A celebration of Carol’s life will be held at 2:00 P.M. on December 31st, 2024, at Woodlawn Baptist Church. Visitation will be from 12:00 P.M. - 2:00 P.M.
