Obituary of Sylvia Carroll
I, James H. Carroll, wrote this the Friday following Aunt Sylvia's funeral, 1996:

"I talked to Mom tonight. She told me that Aunt Sylvia passed away and was buried last Tuesday. I feel a loss; however, I realize that Sylvia was 90 years old, and a Christian, so she is in a better place, in grand health. It is difficult to realize, however, that she is gone.

Sylvia and I became buddies back when I was a teenager. She and I had many wonderful times together...sitting around the dinner table, often, talking about this and that. I really enjoyed talking to her. She loved gospel music, and we would often sing together, and later we'd talk about spiritual things, and about family members. I looked to Sylvia for a lot of genealogical information over the years. 

After I moved away from Drumright as a young man,  I would visit her when I was home...I always did; however, last year her children rightfully persuaded her to sell her home in Drumright, and she moved to Texas to live near her daughter, Ruth.

Aunt Sylvia didn't have many really close friends for she was a rather shy individual in groups, but I always enjoyed her company. She was always, always cordial. She was really dear to me. She always welcomed me into her home, and she made me feel that I was a special person. She had a great sense of humor. I hope I never forget the sound of her laughter.

In the last years she became hard of hearing, so it was difficult to carry on a conversation. I know that she was very lonely over the years after Shirley, her youngest daughter, married and left home, and then Grandma Carroll passed away....then year by year she saw her few contemporaries pass on.

I'm sure that we must have talked about Grandma Carroll on our last visit because we always did. We talked about how much we still missed her. And now, I'll miss Aunt Sylvia."

IV. Vinie Violet Carroll was born on 18 Nov 1910 in Perry, Noble Co., OK. She died on 11 Apr 1970 in Drumright, Creek Co., OK. Letha (Betty Jo), Violet's only daughter, said that Violet had rheumatic fever when she was young (seven) and suffered from a weak heart the rest of her life. Violet was married a number of times, and twice to Pan (Ermil Ernest) Turner. She worked at Beach Aircraft - Wichita, KS during the war. Later in life, Violet became a member of the Church of Christ.

I have a few memories of Aunt Violet. She and Pan lived in Oklahoma City and would come to visit Grandma in Drumright now and then. I wish that I could have known her after I became an adult, but I didn't have that opportunity. After Grandma died in 1966, she and Pan bought Grandma's house on South Duke in Drumright. They were living there when Violet died of heart failure in 1970.
