Early on the morning of Thursday, January 27, 2011, Carol began the final part of her journey home, fully expecting the one more surprise her Lord promised her long ago. Carol had a very difficult year with many hospitalizations and much suffering. She made the decision to come home, and with the help of her family, church, friends, and Hospice sought God's complete healing. Shortly after making this decision, Carol told her husband, Jim, that she had fought the good fight and was now ready to meet her Lord, Jesus Christ. She died two days later.
Carol was born on November 23, 1945, in England at the rural Whitheather Lodge at the foot of Woolly Hill. She was a "war baby" born to her father, Arthur, a United States soldier, and her mom, Ruby King, a British citizen, and member of the British army. Carol came to the United States on Easter Sunday in 1946, a United States citizen.
She is survived by her mother, Ruby A. Rogers; her husband, the Reverend James W. Thornton Sr.; their children, James Jr. "Jay" and Julie Hull; five grandchildren, Sarah, Delaney, Rachel, Macauley, and Zachary; a sister, Susan Gauthier; an aunt and uncle, several nieces, nephews, and cousins both in the United States and in England.
Carol grew up in Richmond, Virginia, graduated from John Marshall High School, and attended college in Richmond. She worked as a secretary, an administrative assistant, and a medical assistant. After completing the Course of Study at Wesley Theological Seminary, Carol became a Local Pastor in the United Methodist Church. She served churches on the Eastern Shore, Albemarle County, and retired from the Mineral Mount Pleasant Charge after an 11 year appointment. She was an effective minister as a lay person in her church, a pastor's spouse and a clergy person.
Carol's entire adult life was devoted to helping others, and both preaching and living the message of God's love found in the gospel of Jesus Christ, God's son. She will be missed by all who knew her. Carol would want you to believe Isaiah 43: 1-5 in the Old Testament.
Memorial contributions may be made to any of the following: Mineral United Methodist Church, Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church, both in Louisa County, or Ivy Creek United Methodist Church in Charlottesville.
A memorial service was held Saturday, February 5, 2011, at Woodward Funeral Home, 200 Fredericksburg Avenue, Louisa, VA 23093, with the Reverend Bryan Buckles officiating.
The family received friends following the memorial service at Mineral United Methodist Church, 301 West Third Street, Mineral, VA 23117.
An additional memorial service was held Saturday, February 12, 2011, at Ivy Creek United Methodist Church, 674 Woodlands Road, Charlottesville, VA 22901 with the Reverend Dick Faris officiating.
