Carol Mammen
September 5, 1943 — August 23, 2015
Carol Ann Meeks Mammen, 71, of Moody, passed away Sunday, August 23, 2015. A Memorial Celebration will be 6:00 p.m., Saturday, August 29, at The Main Place, 315 S. Main Street, McGregor.
Carol was born September 5, 1943, to Leonard and Inga Bakke Meeks, in her childhood home in Gatesville, TX. She married Kenneth Moore and together they had two children, Laynie and Lory. Carol was a stay at home mom for many years and touched many lives through her involvement with Girl Scouts and Little League in McGregor. She later went to work at Nick’s Restaurant in Waco, where she made very dear friends throughout her 14 years there. Carol was an avid Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers fan; you could always find her in front of her TV rooting for her teams. In 1983, Carol was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, but she never let it affect her spirit. Later in life she married Murray Mammen and they had many happy years together. Her family was her world and she was always surrounded by her kids, her grandkids, and her great-grandkids.
Carol was preceded in death by her parents; husband and father of her children, Kenneth Moore; second husband, Murray Mammen; brothers, Robert E. Meeks, and Dewey Meeks; and her granddaughter, Elyssa Dale Terral.
Carol is survived by her daughters Laynie Terral, and Lory Von Staden and husband Kyle; her grandchildren, Kris Moore, Marie Willis and husband Bryce, Ashley Moore, Hope Rubert and husband Caleb, and Eric Terral; her great-grandchildren Kadience, Blake, Blayne, Kennedy, Kash, Kinsler, and another precious baby boy on the way; along with numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
Honorary attendants will be her very close cousins, Ranzell Meeks, Royce Pennington, Otis Bakke, and Eldon Surley.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Carol’s name to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, P.O. Box 4527, New York, NY, 10163, and-1-800-344-4867. The following words were close to Carol’s heart:
“Multiple Sclerosis is personal. It affects different people in different ways, and the same person differently on different days.”
