Obituary for Marilyn Carroll

Marilyn Hickman Carroll, age 69, of Cynthiana, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on February 12, 2020. Born in Cynthiana, on August 18, 1950 to the late John Thomas Hickman and Vivian Fink Hickman. She was a lifelong member of Beaver Baptist Church. Marilyn worked for over thirty years at Dairy Queen and over fifteen years working with Dr. Arnold. She enjoyed spending time with family, her beloved cats, and reading. Besides her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, Charles Bryne Carroll III.
As said by a beloved friend, “A good and kind soul has found peace. She was a friend, a good wife, an exceptional employee, and loved to entertain a house full of people with CB. The Harrison County High School Class of ’68 will note its loss. She attended the University of Kentucky and boarded with Miss Rena Beckett within walking distance of campus. She was loyal to her parents, her family, her community near Oddville and was a good student. She will be missed at Beaver Baptist Church. Her life had meaning for her husband and family, community and the many patients and customers she willingly and honestly served.”
Marilyn is survived by her brother, John Thomas (Myrtle) Hickman Jr. of Piqua, Ohio; two sisters, Barbara (Richard) Childers of Clay City, Kentucky and Debra (Tom) Jones of Powell, Tennessee; nieces, Alice (John) Burns, Leslie (Scott) McCoy, and Patricia (Chuck) Prugh; great-nephews, Jordan McCoy, Isaac Prugh, David Prugh and Andrew Prugh; friends, Sherry, Jennie, Jim, Rose, Sharon and Alisa as well as many other special friends.
