Thelma E. Carroll, age 94 of Dover, died June 17, 2019, in Park Village Care Center at Dover under the care of Great Lakes Hospice, following a period of declining health.

Born in Brilliant, Ohio on Sept. 1, 1924, Thelma was the daughter of the late Frederick Merle and Clair Rozella (Robinson) Stubbins.

Following graduation from Bowerston High School, Thelma began employment at Penn’s Department Store and Mine and Safety Device in Bowerston. During WWII she worked at Goodyear Aircraft in Uhrichsville as a Rosie the Riveter.

Thelma married her high school sweetheart and late husband, John R. Carroll, on Nov. 29, 1946, in Deersville, Ohio. They celebrated their 59th anniversary before his death in 2006. Together they operated John R. Carroll Trucking and Excavating for over 50 years. Thelma was the secretary, treasurer and parts runner.

Thelma was a 4-H advisor for six years and held various offices in the PTO. She enjoyed playing cards, board games, bowling and golf. She was very proud of the hole-in-one at Atwood Golf Course.

John and Thelma wintered in Florida for 27 years before deciding to make it their home. She enjoyed her many friends at Oak Grove Village in Trenton, Florida. She was a wonderful daughter and daughter-in-law who cared for her parents and her mother and father-in-law.

Thelma will be deeply missed by her daughter and son-in-law, Rhonda (Harry Thomas II) Simon of Strasburg; her grandchildren, Tiffini Simon and Scot (Kaitlin) Simon; and great-grandchildren, Dominic Wright, Elle Simon and Sidney Simon.

Cremation care has been entrusted to Geib Funeral Service in Dover. A private graveside service will be held in Bowerston at Longview Cemetery beside her husband.
