Warrenton, VA — A profound sadness has fallen over the Warrenton community as news spreads of the unexpected passing of Carol Jean, a cherished mother, grandmother, and pillar of quiet strength, who died this past weekend due to sudden health complications.

Carol, who dedicated her life to caring for others, was the heart of her family — a devoted mother to six children and a beloved grandmother to twelve. Her unwavering love, support, and selflessness shaped the lives of all who were lucky enough to be part of her world.

Throughout her life, Carol embodied humility, compassion, and tireless service to others. As a homemaker and caretaker, she placed the well-being of those around her above all else — rarely asking for anything in return, and always giving with her whole heart. Whether offering a comforting word, a home-cooked meal, or simply her quiet presence, Carol made sure no one ever felt alone.

“She was the glue that held us together,” one of her children said. “Her love was unconditional — a constant in all our lives.”

Friends and neighbors remember Carol not just for her role within her family, but also for the warmth and kindness she extended to the broader community. She had a way of making others feel welcome and valued, whether through a simple gesture or heartfelt conversation.

A public viewing will be held on Thursday, July 10th, from 6–8 PM at Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton, giving friends and family a chance to say their goodbyes and celebrate a life of quiet but profound impact. A private burial will follow in Pennsylvania, where Carol will be laid to rest near loved ones.

As her family navigates this immense loss, they are comforted by the deep and enduring legacy she leaves behind — one of love, strength, sacrifice, and grace. Carol Jean may no longer walk beside them, but her spirit will live on in every act of kindness, every moment of togetherness, and every memory shared.

She was the heart of her home, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her.
