Carol Rodgers Eddings

Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother joined her loving family with God in heaven on Monday, November 9, 2020. She left behind a great legacy with her doting husband and children. Carol was the daughter of the late Robert (Bob) and Emma Rodgers. She was born and raised in the great Granby Olympia Mill area. She was a graduate of Olympia High School with the class of ‘59. She was a long-term employee for the State of South Carolina for 20+ years where she happily retired in '98-'99. After retirement she enjoyed spending her everyday life being a wonderful home maker and backbone/matriarch to her family. In her spare time, she read and completed crossword puzzles which she loved. Carol was an avid member of Victory Fellowship Church of God. Those left to cherish in her loving memory include her husband of 54 years, Ronald T. Eddings; daughter, Renee E. Schriver (Dale); son, Ronald W. Eddings (Melissa); five grandchildren: Brandi Langley (Thomas), Kelsey Wallace (Luke), Harley Schriver (Mia), Emmalie Eddings (Matthew), Noah Eddings; five great-grandchildren: Carolina, Timothy, Kayden, Lonnie and Myles.
