Sterling Price Carroll

CARROLL, STERLING PRICE, age 83, of Davenport, FL, passed away Thursday, September 22, 2005. He was born in Sylvester, Texas and lived in the Orlando area for 38 years. Sterling had an impressive career in the military, serving as an Air Force pilot for 26 years and flying B-47 bombers in World War II. Recognized for his leadership skills, he attained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and yet, never let his military service define the rest of his life. He was an avid Nascar fan and outdoorsman, loving to water ski, snow ski, golf and travel. He thoroughly enjoyed traveling across North America in his RV and was active in two travel clubs. Sterling had strong religious convictions and was an active charter member of the Community of Faith United Methodist Church. He is survived by his loving wife, Mary Nan and her four children, Carol, Kathy, Karen and Ben; his own children, Nora, Jodie, and Sterling; and seven grandchildren. A memorial service of celebration will be held on Sunday, October 2, 2005 at 2PM at the Community of Faith United Methodist Church (inside Four Corners Middle School at Hwy 27 & Student Drive). This will be a time of remembering his life and service in our community. A reception will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Community of Faith United Methodist Church Building Fund, 9110 U.S. Highway 192, Suite B, Clermont, FL 34714 (Church Office).
