Obituary from the "Los Angeles Times" of Los Angeles, California dated 28 Feb 2015:
July 23, 1933 - February 20, 2015
Carole Stewart died peacefully of natural causes in Carlsbad, Ca. Born in Bemidji, Minnesota, to Herbert and Edith Larson, Carole developed an early interest in the performing arts. By age seven, she was singing on the radio in Fargo, North Dakota (WDAY) with her sister Patty as "the Layne Sisters." During WWII the duo toured the country in Pullman rail cars, promoting War Bonds. In 1945, the Larson family moved to California, where the Layne Sisters had the privilege of working with celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Eddie Cantor and Van Johnson. The girls made various recordings and performed for thousands of people.
Carole was a 1951 graduate of Leuzinger High School in Hawthorne, Ca. After high school she began a real estate career in Manhattan Beach, where she lived for 15 years and was involved in community affairs, serving as president of the Dolphins Club (a women's charity organization) and the PTA. In 1974, Carole moved to Carlsbad. She continued to work in residential and commercial real estate, buying landmark properties such as Carlsbad's Surf Motel, the Royal Palms (now Carlsbad Inn) and the 17-acre Thunderbird Ranch. She continued to perform with various dance and song groups and encouraged her children and grandchildren to pursue the family's passion for music.
Over the last 18 years another passion of Carole's was helping other women through Alcoholics Anonymous. She mentored many, and her own success through the program was a testament to its ability to transform human lives.
Carole was preceded in death by her parents, Herbert and Edith Larson; siblings Mavis, Ramon, and Patricia; and husbands Walter Lee Cooksey (in 1956) and John Gregory Stewart (in 2002). She is survived by her brother, Gerald; her four sons, Randall, Reed, John, and Dana Stewart; nine grandchildren, five great grandchildren, and countless friends. A memorial service will be held at the Rancho Carlsbad Owners' Association club house on Saturday, March 14th, at 2:30 p.m.
She married (1) Walter Lee Cooksey 13 Aug 1950.
She married (2) John Gregory Stewart 12 Jan 1958.
