She is survived by her daughters, Amelia Hart and Judy (Chester) Mobley; grandchildren, Ashley Mobley Richardson and Jeremy (Kim) Mobley; great grandchildren, Nathan Mobley, Kayla Mobley, and Emma Richardson. Carol was born in Piedmont, Alabama and resided in the community all of her life. She was a very bright student and was double promoted during her elementary school years. After graduating from Piedmont High School in 1951, Carol started a long career in office management with a number of the local manufacturing plants, including Lawtex, Piedmont Industrial Garment Manufacturing Co, Piedmont Executive, and Garcy Manufacturing. Carol enjoyed working until she retired at the age of 74 in 2008. Carol met the love of her life, William Hart, soon after starting to work and following a whirlwind courtship of three months, they were married in March of 1953. Along the path of matrimony, the couple welcomed their first daughter Amelia to the family in August, 1955, soon to be followed by another daughter Judy in April, 1957. Carol was raised in church and gave her life to Jesus at an early age. In May, 1967, the family attended a revival at Northside Baptist Church where Carol rededicated her life to God, and later was baptized and joined the church. She was a faithful member and servant becoming active in Sunday School, the Women’s Missionary Union, and served as the church pianist for both the Adult and Youth Choirs for over 50 years. Carol was passionate about her service to the Lord and was a role model for her sacrificial commitment to her church and family. While she will be missed by all, she will always live in our hearts. The family wishes to extend their appreciation and special thanks to all of her friends, neighbors, caretakers at Duggar Mountain Assisted Living and the Piedmont Nursing Home, and to her beloved family members who have been so supportive and caring over the years.
