A beautiful tribute for my loving sister who I share so many many wonderful memories and years together growing up.

Me and my Mom will always share her love of nature! Hopefully that’s the common bond that everyone will always share.

I have many great memories of Carol showing and telling me all about all of her beautiful plants and enjoying a glass of wine among the flowers with her. Sending my deepest sympathy to all of her family and friends. She will be missed, but never forgotten.

Our Mom a strong woman, She put herself through school while raising four small children. She was draftsman (draftsperson) at NASA.
She went diving with Fred went fifty five feet of water saw a huge fish got diving knife stabbed it brought it to surface.
Our Mom taught us to Love, Be kind Be Strong, Be Honest, Be respectful.
She touched many lives and we will have her in our Hearts forever.
Love Always Laura

Such a special person that I was privileged to know. A lifelong friend to my mom, I treasure the memories of our two little families gathering for fun and food. I was always in awe of her beautiful oasis and her knowledge of plants and their actual scientific name. In the last year we spent some time together and it was a joy to see her and my mom together chatting it up. I learned that she met your father at my mom’s wedding, he was the photographer! I especially enjoyed talking about sculpting with her, a kindred spirit. We are thinking of our childhood friends Troy, Laura, Bonnie and Dean. And we are so sad to say goodbye to your mom.

Carol was a very good friend to me and I will miss her very much.

We will miss you mom!

Our mother was a strong woman my brother admitted recently that our mom was harder on us girls. Looking back on her life, she had to be strong to nurse her father who had cancer when she was only 16. To step up to the plate and raise four children on her own. She admits she was an introvert, but somehow she went back to school and studied to be a draft woman. She worked mostly with men at NASA. Which as an introvert was daily difficult, but her children were worth it. When she met Fred, she found herself often waiting for a call or a boat to come in from the ocean. My stepfather Fred saw the strength in her when she helped him through a number of accidents. When my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. my mother was her caregiver for years. I had trouble taking care of her for one week and I preferred 2 year-olds to one Mema. My mother was strong. She supported both her true loves Fred and Dave through end of life medical issues. These things made her extremely strong and adamant about her daughters to learn to be strong to cope with whatever life throws at us. Just when you think her shyness might keep her from doing something she would jump out of her shell and go to a county meeting to stand up to protect land surrounding her area. Sandhills cranes, scrub Jays,eagles, owls, to name a few of the birds that always came back taking refuge in her area. She helped make that happen.

Those two pictures are very nice, what a great smile. Carol is very beautiful. She will surely be missed by us all.

Memaw was one heck of a women. A mother wife friend MEMAW diver draftsmen she painted made sculptures she had more trees bushes shrubs in her yard then any one I’ve ever known. She was caring she loved animals plaints and being outdoors. She will be missed by many. But don’t be said be happy she’s no longer in any pain and she joined her husband in heaven. I am so blessed that I had the pleasure of being her grandson. I love you memaw!!!! Until weeet again!!

When our Mom went diving to the bottom of 55 feet of water the fish she got was a flounder. My husband said it’s important everyone knows what type of fish.
Our Mom was also very grateful of our father. Because she would not of had all of her wonderful children.(me included).
Our Mom a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a mother, a step mom a wife a grandmother, a great grandmother a great great grandmother.
Our Mom an amazing woman who also taught us to forgive.

My mema was one if the smartest and strongest woman I’ll ever know, her strength and guidance is something I will carry with me forever, I will always cherish the long summer afternoons we had drinking cranberry juice out of wine glasses on her deck, telling stores and using her over size stuffed animals to play it out, walking on her peninsula and falling in every time, her knowledge and strength in comparable to no other, love and miss you forever mema

My Mema was definitely one of a kind, so grateful and peaceful yet fierce and fearless at the same time. I will forever cherish the wonderful memories I have of her as a little girl from royal tea parties to jungle adventures on her peninsula with her most amazing dog Buddy. She was never afraid to speak her mind and her knowledge on what seemed to be just about anything would astonish me, she was such an amazing woman and I know our family will carry her memory forever, we love and miss you Mema forever in our hearts!!

My brother Ernie and I’s father had a rough time after his first marriage and had good reason to be depressed. I could feel his great sadness as a little kid. Then in 1972, when my brother Ernie and I were too young to understand it all, our father Fred Litts Jr. met my stepmother Carol. We were not living with our father then, so Ernie and I were only able to piece together the full story later on.

What happened is our Dad had a spear gun accident which took off most of the fingers of his right hand. He was instantly unable to work then, as either draftsman or fishing. He was destitute and “down on his luck” as he would have said it. If it weren’t for Carol he would have had no roof over his head. She took care of him while he healed up, and they fell in love and married.

I could tell then that our father was happy, and this made me happy too.

There was another incident people would have never heard about. My brother and I were living with our mother still, and she still made it an ordeal for all us anytime our father picked up to visit him or any time he dropped us well. Well one day our mother, his first wife, was livid because of a letter Carol wrote to her. Our mother was so upset about it that she threw the letter at me to read it. That was a life changing letter for me, and I have remembered it for the rest of my life. It was powerful, truthful, and to the point. Carol was very smart and had it all figured out, line by line.

This gave me hope that there are strong women with a backbone in the world, who knew what needed to be said and weren’t afraid to say it. Even though I had hardly met her then, I liked her and admired her for it from that moment on.

God bless and rest in peace Carol/Mema in your new home, surrounded by a beautiful tropical Garden and the gentle waves of the Ocean blue.
