Carol Bixby Obituary
Some people are missed when they are absent. Carol Ann Bixby is certainly one of those people. On Jan. 13, Carol passed into heaven and the presence of God with her loving family at her side. Carol's husband Howard ("Doc") and her family are missing her greatly but rejoice in her new place with Christ her savior.
Born Feb. 21, 1944, in Healdville, Vt., she was the daughter of the late Carroll and Lizzie (Flanders) Tarbell. Carol graduated from nursing school and worked as a registered nurse in home health care.
Surviving in addition to her loving husband are two sons, Scott (Heidi) Bixby of Rochester, N.Y., and Brett (Nicole) Bixby of Montrose; two daughters, Renee (Craig) Parrow of Lakeland, Fla., and Richelle Epstein of Clarks Summit; two brothers, Rodney (Alida) Tarbell of Middle Springs, Vt., and Raymond (Linda) Tarbell of Mount Holly, Vt.; and 19 grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by son-in-law, Joshua Aaron Epstein.
On Saturday, Feb. 12, a special celebration service will be held in Carol's memory at the Bridgewater Church at 10142 State Route 167, Montrose, beginning at 11 a.m. The theme of the gathering will be "Celebrating a Life Worth Living," and will include a celebration service and opportunity to praise the Lord for all of the ways God used Carol in the lives of her family and friends.
