Carol Rhodes Obituary
December 23, 1952 - January 5, 2023
Charlotte, North Carolina - Carol, daughter of the late Charles M. and Ruth Irma Wynn and loving sister Bridget Dean, passed away on January 5, 2023 at the age of 70 after a courageous battle with cancer since 2007.
Carol is survived by her sister Laura Scudder; nieces Hayden Scudder and Casey Wamsley; nephew Chris Dean; longtime companion Bill Herrington; and many loving cousins.
Carol graduated from BC High School in 1971 and obtained her Masters in Physical Education from The University of South Carolina. She retired as a teacher after many years in Columbia and Charlotte, NC.
Carol loved USC football and tailgating with her close friend Jerald Patterson. She adored doing anything outside and loved animals.
There will be a private Celebration of Carol's Life at a later date.

I´m remembering my friend, Carol, with thoughts that make me smile. Carol loved our Lord with all her heart and soul. She also liked the color green and when I see all shades of green, I think of Carol and smile. Green seems to reflect on Carol´s love for nature. I miss our phone calls and the connection we had. I still feel a warmth when I think of Carol.

Carol loved God with all her heart and soul. She loved and cared about people, especially her family, friends, and her students. I am very lucky to have known Carol since our college days at USC. She was definitely my best college friend. With love, Carol Salas

Carol was an awesome person and she loved her friends and family. I enjoyed tailgating at Carolina Football games and she could always keep you entertained! I will miss her laugh and conversation. She fought this cancer for a long period of time and should be commended for her struggles and I know she has found peace with her Lord. God rest Carol, she will be missed.
