Carol Sue Higdon

On Sunday, May 26, 2019, Carol Higdon, loving sister, daughter, mother and grandmother, passed away after an extended illness at the age of 75.

Originally from Cleveland, OH, Carol arrived in Florida as a student at UF eventually settling in Tampa.

A small memorial for family and close friends will be held on Saturday June 8, 2019 at Blount & Curry Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers donations may be sent to Moffitt Cancer Center.
