Carole D. Childers passed away peacefully on April 20, 2023. She was born in Massachusetts, to the late Helen and Richard Dee. She was the youngest of seventh children: Mary Murphy, Alan Dee, John Dee, Richard Dee, Robert Dee, and James Dee, all of whom predeceased her.

Carole was the beloved wife of Robert Wayne Childers, celebrating 50 years of marriage in March, and the loving mother of Carolyn Wampler, Christine Quail, and the late Robert Wayne Childers Jr., who recently passed away.

Carole was a devoted wife and mother who cherished spending time with her family. She had a kind and caring nature, and her gentle spirit touched the lives of everyone she met. Carole obtained a master’s and bachelor’s degree in nursing and maintained her nursing license into her seventies. She enjoyed playing bridge with her lifelong friends and traveling the world to experience new things.

In addition to her children, Carole is survived by her three grandchildren, Zachary Quail, Victorria Childers and Damian Childers. A funeral service will be held on April 29th at Hallett Funeral Home in South Yarmouth, MA at 11am. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to St. Jude Hospital.

Carole was a shining light that could brighten up any room, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have known her.

We are truly sorry to hear about Caroles' passing. She was beautiful, kind and generous. Remember her fondly -- especially the years at Boston College and afterward on James Street. Our thoughts are with you, Bob and your family. Please accept our sincere condolences. Fran & Jerry
