Carol was born December 31, 1946 in Ruston and went home to be with her Lord and Savior June 30, 2013 in Shreveport. She was retired from Bossier Parish School Board as a teacher in special education. Carol was passionate in her devotion to God and His creation in all forms. Her family and friends knew her as their constant strength and cheerleader. As an educator she was an advocate for the disabled. From leading worship in church to hospital visits, Pastor Carol was there to pray, hug, and encourage. And, as we all know, she was a passionate advocate for abused/neglected animals, having rescued and placed hundreds in homes. Her love for God's creation also extended to gardening as she beautified every garden she touched. Carol lived out a life of love and service, which glorified her Lord and Savior. She will be sorely missed.

She is survived by her brothers Nolen R. Heard and wife Fay of Hammond, Sandy Heard and wife Susan of Gainesville, Georgia, sister Alice Forrest and husband Ed of Hammond, a number of nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.
