OBITUARY: Carol Marie Adams was born September 8, 1947 in Sarnia, Ontario Canada to Bob and Wadene Adams. She passed away of heart failure on Jan 7, 2023 after multiple attempts to revive her. Carol was a loving wife of 52 years to Larry Henderson. She is survived by her husband Larry and their three daughters April, Mariann and Renée. She was grandmother to April's four children (Caitlyn, Ashlyn, Melanie and Alex), and Mariann's children (Mia and Lexi). She was also survived by two brothers Jim (Searcy, AK) and Ron (Hutto, TX) and two sisters Judy (Silver City, NM) and Kathy (Cross Plains, TX) Shortly after starting at Harding University, she was motivated to become a US citizen in order to go on a USO tour to Greenland with the Belles and Beauxs musical group. She graduated from Harding University in 1971 with a bachelor's degree in Music Education with extensive training in voice and vocal performance. She sang in many operas during her college years. She later earned her masters degree in music education from Central Washington University. She was also a gifted artist. Carol was most known for being the elementary music teacher at Mission View Elementary between 1989 and 2003 in Wenatchee, WA. She also worked as a substitute all throughout the Wenatchee school district for some years after that. Among Carol's significant accomplishments were becoming an author and publishing a book, "Shomara Diaries", the first out of a planned series. Her second book was nearly finished, but never published. She also performed lead roles in many musicals over the years such as "Gift of the Magi", "Brigadoon", playing Mother Teresa in "The Sound of Music" and many more. Her other passions included teaching both voice and piano, raising her daughters in the Lord, and of course flowers and her kitties. Carol will always be remembered for her incredible singing voice and acting skills, her beautiful and loving smile and her love of Jesus. She was full of laughter and love, and embraced life to the fullest. She will be missed greatly by all that knew her, but we know she is singing her heart out in The Lord's heavenly choirs and we will see her again soon.
