Carole Estella Johnson, age 82, of Wildwood, and formerly of Floral City, passed away on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, at Cypress Care Center in Wildwood, FL. Carole was born on April 3, 1935 in Portland, Maine, to the late Leon and Treva (Quigley) Parsons, and came to this area in 1999 from Chelmsford, MA.
She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Wildwood. Carole loved to play cards and board games, working puzzles, knitting, ceramics and crafts. She was a good seamstress, and enjoyed traveling, especially on Caribbean cruises with her husband. Their 60th anniversary cruise was most special as they were joined by their family as a surprise. Carole liked Sunday drives, picnics with her family, and loved the Maine coastline. The family camped in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and took many trips together to Lake Sunapee, Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam.
Left to cherish her memory are her husband of 66 years, Ernest; her son, Ernest J. Johnson and wife, Darlene of Ayer, MA; her daughters: Wanda Carbonneau and husband, Joseph of Hudson, FL, Cheryl “Sheri” Steele and husband, Ronald of Weeki Wachee, FL and Michelle “Shelley” Watson and husband, George, of Wildwood, FL; 12 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild “on the way”. She also has several nieces and nephews in the New England area. Carole was preceded in death by her brother Leon Albert Parsons and his wife Marilyn.
Memorial services for Carole will be conducted on Tuesday, March 13, 2018 at 11:00 AM, at the Chas. E. Davis Funeral Home, Inverness, with her grandson, Shawn Smith of Hillcrest Baptist Church of Jacksonville, FL, officiating. Friends are invited to join the family in visitation beginning at 10:00 AM until the hour of service. Arrangements are under the direction of the Chas E.
