Mrs. Anne House Carroll, 91, passed away on Tuesday, December 7, 2021, at her home in Bethel, NC.

She was born in Pitt County on October 10, 1930, to the late David Thurston House Jr. and Dorothy Hart House.

Carroll was a 1952 graduate of Duke University and post-graduation, she spent a couple years as a 5th grade teacher at Myrtle Underwood in Raleigh.

Carroll is survived by her son David Hart Carroll of Bethel, NC, who for over a decade lovingly took care of his mother; her grandson, Lloyd Gilbert "Tripp" Carroll III, his wife Sarah Bass Carroll, and their children, Daniel Herty Carroll and Dalon Nantz Carroll;  her granddaughter, Katherine Elizabeth Elich, her husband Leonardus Corneilus Elich III, and their children, Elizabeth McArthur Elich and Lee Nantz Elich; and her grandson Christian Carroll.

There will be a graveside service on Friday, December 17th at 11:00am at Meadowbrook Cemetery in Lumberton, where she will be laid to rest next to her beloved husband and son. A memorial service will be held on a later date at Bethel United Methodist Church.
