Carol Carr

 Carol Carr was born June 25, 1934 to Herbert and Gyda Starr in Mitchell, S. Dakota. She attended Dakota Wesleyan University where she studied music and met Robley Carr whom she married  and celebrated 67 years with. Carol taught music in Mitchell and also 5 years for the BIA. She was much loved with her positive attitude, great sense of humor and genuine interest in people which allowed her to move easily within various social and community circles.  She loved people, dogs, her family, friends, church, community and Montana. An avid reader, after retiring from twenty five years with the Kalispell School district as a Title I Tutor, she volunteered at the city library for several years. Carol also served on the Foster Care Review Board and was an active member of the United Methodist Church, particularly championing and serving on the Day Care Center Advisory Board. Despite many health challenges, Carol maintained great faith and gratitude, and was  known for her smile and sense of humor to those she worked with and to those who cared for her in her last years of life. Carol was a true inspiration to everyone who knew her. She is survived by her husband Robley, daughter Lori (Jody Middleton), son Thomas (Dianna), granddaughters Emilie and Katherine, two nieces and brother in law. A Memorial Service will be held at the United Methodist Church on October 30 at 2 p.m. Remembrances may be made to the United Methodist Day Care Center or the Samaritan House in Kalispell.
