| Obituary: |
Carol Casteel of the Walkertown community passed away Saturday April 3 2010 at the home of daughter after a very brave battle with cancer. Her strong will to survive is a testament to her courage and determination.
Carol was a long time member of Ottway United Methodist Church where she was a much loved Sunday School Teacher as long as her health permitted. She loved her church and participated in the choir and United Methodist Women’s Group. She loved the youth of the church and especially her grand daughters going to church with her.
Carol was also a member of the Ottway Ruritan Club where she was an active member and a past officer as long as her health permitted.
She was one of six surviving children born to Hughey and Edna Moore of the Lost Mountain Community she was raised on a small family farm where she made many dear childhood memories that she fondly told stories of throughout her life.
Carol was retired from the Greene County School System and spent 25 years of her teaching career at Chuckey Doak High School. She also spent many years as softball coach while at Chuckey Doak. She had a strong loyalty to the school and was especially fond of all her students whom she fondly referred to as “her Kids” even unto her time of death. In 2009 she was honored as one of the very first inductees to the Chuckey Doak Athletic Hall of Fame for her devotion and Continual support to the athletic programs.
Carol was multi talented and had many gifts including: cooking, baking, cake decorating, gardening, sewing, carpentry and teaching. However, her greatest gift was the ability to remain positive in all life’s situations. She had a passion for life and remained a happy and content person who made the best of everything. She loved her family and was devoted to them, although her greatest joy came from her four granddaughters whom she loved dearly. We the family provide the following: Mom’s love and smile gave us strength and encouragement and her laughter warmed our hearts. This world is a better place for her having been in it and we are all better for having known her. We pray that each one of us live a life that would exemplify her role in all our lives.
