Carol Ann Nolen passed away peacefully on September 26, 2024, at Bethany House in Auburn, AL following a lengthy battle with cancer. She was born in Montgomery, AL on December 14,1943 to William M. Clark and Kathleen J. Clark. Carol Ann was preceded in death by her parents and her only sibling, brother- William Allen Clark. She is survived by her son Brad Nolen (Tonya) and her daughter Amy Smith (Todd). She is also survived by her grandchildren Brennan Smith, Nolen Smith, Landon Smith, Drew Nolen, and Ella Kate Nolen. There are many others that Carol Ann loved and treated like children and grandchildren.
Carol Ann was a faithful and dedicated servant of Jesus Christ. Her love of Christ was evident in all that she did. It was most evident in her relationships with her family and friends. Carol Ann was known for her compassionate, humble service to others. She was often alongside family, friends, neighbors and sometimes strangers during their greatest time of need. Her humility would never allow her to seek any accolades for her service. Her only wish would be that her legacy would bring honor to Jesus Christ and bring others into an eternal relationship with Him. She was grateful for and would want to thank the staff at Bethany House, all her other caregivers and all her friends that helped her during her time of need.
