Barbara L. Carroll

Barbara Lou Carroll, of Rochester, NY, passed away on April 5, 2025, at the age of 89 years old.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Eugene Carroll.

Barbara is survived by her children, Chuck Carroll (Josh), Rita Veltre (Richard), and Warren Carroll (Kelly); her cherished grandchildren, Victoria Veltre, Alexis Carroll, Hunter Carroll, and Dominic Veltre; and her adored cat, Luna, dear cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Barbara was known by all who loved her as a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend. She was the heart of her family, always ready with a listening ear, a warm smile, and open arms. Her happiest moments were when her loved ones gathered at her home—whether it was a birthday, holiday, or a celebration, as long as we were all together.

A passionate gardener, Barbara was truly a flower guru. Her yard was a canvas of color, filled with blooms from spring to fall. She created a sanctuary for butterflies, bees, and birds—especially hummingbirds, Baltimore orioles and Blue Birds which she loved to watch with quiet joy. Her gardens were an extension of her soul: vibrant, nurturing, and full of life.

Barbara’s kindness, patience, and deep love for her family will be forever remembered and deeply missed. We take comfort in knowing that she is now at peace. Her struggles are behind her, and she is surrounded by the light and love she so deeply deserved. We hold onto the beautiful memories, as we look through the photo albums she had made throughout the years.

🎶 “A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved.

You were an angel in the shape of our mom.

And when God takes you back, He'll say "Hallelujah you're home” 🎶

A private family gathering will be held in her honor. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests planting something beautiful in her memory. Or perhaps GRASPINC.ORG ~ a local rescue adoption center, where she adopted Luna.
