Carol MacKenzie Obituary

MacKenzie, Carol Jo F. 77, educator, musician, choir director & singer, completed her assignments on this earth with honors and has moved on, to share the joy of music in His Realm. Carol was the music teacher at Hollywood Central Elementary for over 50 years. She was also well known in the S. Florida Jewish community performing at Temple Beth Torah for 13 years and at Temple Solel for 38 years. It seemed no matter where she went, someone would recognize her and say; "Ms. MacKenzie, do you remember me? I was in your music class." Carol is survived by her son L.D. "Buzz" Robinson and many students, friends and colleagues. A funeral service will be conducted at Temple Solel in Hollywood on Friday, May 18 at 3:15 p.m., internment to follow at Lauderdale Memorial Park. Services provided by Levitt-Weinstein, Hollywood, 954-963-2400. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to either Temple Solel or the Neve Michael Children's Village.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Condolences to the family from the staff and children at Neve Michael Children's Village. We will never forget and always appreciate Carol's tender feelings for our children and her generosity. Carol sponsored children at Neve Michael, carried their pictures in her wallet and loved receiving mail from them. She was truly a special person.

Carol has been our next-door neighbor since we moved here in 2009. She had the unique ability to be the most gentle and generous person while, at the same time, whip you into shape. We never tired of her stories, of hearing the beautiful music coming from her house, or of getting to know one of the most beautiful people I've had the pleasure to know. Although we'll miss you being in the home next door, we know you're enjoying a much better home. Rest in God's Peace, Carol - we loved you very much.

I am 40 years old and if there is one teacher I can remember that made an impression on me it was you Mrs. Mackenzie. You had so much passion for your work with music and children. The world will not be the same without you!
