Carol was born in Evansville, IN on May 11, 1939 to Rubin and Ella Marie Thene, an only child. Daughter of a tool and die maker, she became an expert with tools and anything mechanical. She was also an accomplished sketch artist and musician. She was baptized on May 22, 1966, at Methodist Temple in Evansville, IN. She was an elementary school teacher in Indiana, a chief accountant for Dillard's and Macy's stores in Phoenix, AZ, Denver, CO, and Albuquerque, NM. She was formerly married to Mr. Gene Forth of Phoenix, AZ. She has no living kin. She is survived by her care giver and longtime friend Robert Gleason, and lots of brothers and sisters in Christ, many at Garfield Gospel Chapel where she was in fellowship for the past several years. Thanks to all who visited Carol and prayed for her during her recent illness.
