Carol Christine Rockwell Obituary

CAROL CHRISTINE EVANS ROCKWELL, age 75, of Roxboro, NC entered her Heavenly home Thursday morning, October 31, 2024 surrounded by her loving family. 

Mrs. Rockwell was born Christmas Eve, December 24, 1948 in Person County, NC, daughter of the late Eugene B. & Cora Riley Evans and was wife of 57 years to Kenneth Ray Rockwell who survives. 

Surviving in addition to her husband are two children, Kent Rockwell, Tracy Rockwell Blackard, grandchildren, Hunter Horton (Maddy Davis), Brantley Blackard, her loyal fur baby, Bud, three sisters, Bobbie Jean Nelson, Linda Buchanan (Ronald), Recie Evans (Dennis), sister-in-law, Levon Thomas (Pete), and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Upon retiring from the insurance industry, she enjoyed being a home maker and caring for her family which was her passion.  She was an excellent cook and known for her lemon pie and potato salad among many other favorites.  She found much pleasure and joy in caring for her family, especially her grandchildren.

She was loved by many and will be missed, especially by her husband Ray who cared for her the past six years as her health declined.

Many thanks to her caregivers Tammy Dillon, Barbara Rice, Barbara Majors, and Jean Featherston.  Your kindness and love will never be forgotten.
