Carol Rawl's Obituary
Carol began her journey back to her creator on September 13, 2020 when
she passed peacefully at her home, with her daughter and her devoted
caregivers holding her hands. She was born on November 1, 1931. A
native of California, Carol moved to Fort Myers in 1960 with her
husband Dr. Frank Rawl. She was a graduate of California Hospital
School of Nursing and the University of Southern California. She also
received a diploma from Stetson University in Bible Studies. She was a
devoted Wife and Mother, involved in her church, school, scouting and
the community. She was an instrument rated pilot, a licensed real
estate agent, a registered nurse and a accomplished pianist! She was
instrumental in her church, sponsoring a refugee family in the 70's
and made many lifelong friendships, as was her way in everything she
did throughout her life! Carol had a zest for life, a passion for
service, a generous nature and a curious spirit that was always
inspired to learn and to teach! She was a warm, intelligent, inspiring
modern woman and she touched the lives of many! She was predeceased by
her husband Frank, of 54 years. She is survived by her three children:
Greg Rawl and his wife Mary, Julie Rawl and Janet Rawl-Bourret and her
husband Jacques. She also was a proud grandmother to three grandsons:
Gregory, Stephen and Christopher and her four great grandchildren! A
service will be held to celebrate her life at Peace Lutheran Church on
Thursday September 24th at 4:00pm. She will be laid to rest next to
her beloved husband Frank at Fort Myers Memorial Gardens. As you make
your journey home Carol know that you are adored, appreciated, loved
and will be greatly missed here! It was Carol's wish that in lieu of
flowers, a gift in her name be made to Hope Hospice or any other
charitable service organization you love!
