Carla Jan Cole, known affectionately as CC, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 5, 2023 at Baylor Scott & White Hospital in Temple, Texas surrounded by family.
She fought her health battles with strength, dignity, and her own special sense of humor. Her big smile and contagious laugh will never be forgotten. If you caught her sitting down (a rare occasion), there was usually a dog or a baby (or both!) in her lap. CC believed in holding tight to the bonds of family and gathering friends wherever she went. She worked hard and played hard, and her door was open to anyone at any time.
Carla is preceded in death by her parents, Roger Truitte Cole and Grace Walker Cole. She is survived by her faithful canine companion Tillie, sister Sharon Allen, niece Jennifer Posern and husband Eric, nephew Joshua Allen and wife Amber, great-nephews Cole (and wife Tessa), Chris, and Dane, great-nieces Kaitlynne, Emma, and Audra, and a huge host of cousins that she loved dearly. With forty years in the nursing profession and a number of hobbies, Carla leaves behind circles of friends everywhere.
