Carol, as a hobby, was devoted to her family. She would also attend most any yard sale she could find, and whatever she bought she always had her family in mind. As of the last couple of years, she was in contention with having the latest in Beanie Babies. Most of all, Rex and their home in Coal Valley was her pride and joy. Carol is survived by her husband of 48 years, Rex; three sons and daughters-in-law, Craig and Jill Scritchfield of Coal Valley, Tim and Keri Scritchfield of Sherrard, and Mark and Kathy Scritchfield of Coal Valley; eight grandchildren, Kimberly, Samantha, Daniel, Kristen, Stephanie, and Stephen Scritchfield, Jeremy Duncheon, and Robert Henderson; four great-grandchildren, Quentin, Alex, Xavier, and Tahlyn Scritchfield; and a brother and sister-in-law, Glenn and Phyllis Freeman of Carthage, Missouri.
