Carol A Wheeler Jarrell November 16, 1943 January 24, 2017 PORTLAND Carol Ann Wheeler Jarrell peacefully passed away at her home in Portland, Or- egon on Tuesday, January 24, 2017. Born November 16, 1943 in St. Ignatius, Montana, Carol was a daughter of the late Joseph Wheeler and Margaret Ashley Wheeler. She grew up in a small cabin in the mountains of Mon- tana surrounded by several siblings and lots of love. As a young girl, she loved play- ing with her siblings and helping her younger sisters with reading and math.

As an adult, she was proud of the fact she really did walk 3 miles each way to catch the school bus. She gradu- ated from St. Ignatius High School in 1962. Carol had a tender and caring heart, making her well suited for a career as a registered nurse. She at- tended St.

School of Nursing in Missoula, Montana, graduating in the class of 1966. She dedicated her life to helping others, working in hospitals and clinics in Missoula, MT; Helena, MT; and Twin Falls, ID.

As a supportive wife, Carol moved with her husband, Dale Jarrell, to various locations in the Northwest where he was employed by the Forest Ser- vice.

They were divorced in 1988. Her love for others was demonstrated daily through random acts of kindness, whether it was making sure everyone felt special on their birthday, helping those in need, or sharing words of encouragement. She had a following for her positive daily Facebook posts, com- plete with a picture collage and inspirational words. She considered herself Grandma to the children of her many friends and fam- ily and was overjoyed at be- coming a grandma when Jo- seph was born. Carol was an avid music lover and likely the biggest Celtic Thunder fan ever known to man a Thunderhead to the core! She loved to travel, partic- ularly if it involved visiting historical locations and buildings.

She was also an enthusiastic collector and dreamed of opening an an- tique and curio shop.
