CAROL JEAN SMALL

Carol Jean Small, age 71, a lifelong resident of Elwood, died peacefully on Sunday, January 18, 2015 at St. Vincent Mercy Hospital in Elwood after an extended illness.

She was born May 30, 1943 in Elwood, the daughter of Robert M. "Tar" and Frances "Jean" (Elliott) Robertson.

She was a secretary for the Elwood Community School Corporation working in the Middle School office for more than 20 years, and retired in 2005. Carol attended St. Joseph School in Elwood and graduated in 1961 from Wendell L. Willkie High School.

She will be remembered for never missing a sporting event when one of her grandchildren was playing; and she considered herself a life-long "Elwood Panther" fan. During her many years of working in the middle school, Carol was known to have a special intuition for children who needed help, and she privately helped hundreds of kids for many years.
