Parcourez la nécrologie de Carol Ann Vanasse May 6 1951 August 17 2023 résidant dans la province T-N pour le détail des funérailles
Carol Ann Vanasse, 71, of Rutledge went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, August 17, 2023.
Carol is preceded in death by her parents, Charles Petrie and Veronica O’Neal Petrie. She is survived by her loving husband, Robert Francis Vanasse, and daughters, Christine Carr, Denise Lyn (Joshua) Berry, Bonnie Vanasse, and Kathleen (Larry) Miller.
Carol once wrote, “Not one of us is guaranteed so much as another minute on Earth. Laugh a lot and be quick to forgive each other. Never miss an opportunity to be kind.” Carol lived by these mantras every single day of her life: She indiscriminately gave kindness to any person or creature that crossed her path and demonstrated unparalleled patience in all matters.
Carol loved playing or cuddling with her dogs, listening to music, going to concerts, playing guitar, reading, being outdoors, playing games (especially Scrabble and Rummy), and watching television and movies. She also enjoyed photography and gardening. Despite her many passions, Carol was quick to share her disdain of cooking; nonetheless, when she was raising her children, she made them a homecooked meal every single night, even after working a full-time job. Carol fed her children both literally and figuratively—simply, she was an incredible mother.
But Carol was also an incredible grandmother, and nothing brought her more pride and joy than her five grandsons: Dominic (“DJ”), Alexander (“Alex”), Nathaniel (“Nate”), Charles (“Charlie”), and Frederick (“Fred”). They were the center of her world.
Carol once described herself as average, saying, “I do the best I can with what I have.” If Carol was average, we should all aspire to be average. The world was a better place because of her “average” contributions, and these words represent a feeble attempt to memorialize a person who was beyond words. Carol, Mom, Meemaw, Ginny, you will be missed beyond measure.
The family will receive friends from 12:00-1:30 PM, Tuesday, August 22, 2023, at Bridges Funeral Home. Family and friends will then follow in procession to the East Tennessee Veteran’s Cemetery for a graveside service where Carol will be laid to rest.
