She attended the Louisville Public Schools and was graduated from the Louisville Normal School and the University of Louisville. She adored all the young people with whom she worked - as a teacher, a visiting teacher and two years at Ridgewood Institution. It was amazing the special occasion cards, often telephone calls and even visits that she received from these young people as they grew to rnanhood and womanhood. These WERE her happiest and most rewarding moments for work well done. Carrie Belle joined Lampton Baptist Church at an early age and has often said she can not remember ever not attending there even when very young. She loved the church and its members and until a few years had worked in many capacities. She loved the Senior Choir and often reminisced about the happy early years as a member. Her marriage to Chester has been a good, understanding one. Quite frequently she laughed because they never seemed to remember a disagreement but went gaily on as if nothing had ever happened. Carrie Belle dearly loved her family and she leaves to mourn a husband, brother, neices and nephews. �-~~~~ OPENS THE DOOR TO LIFE EVERMORE ~ Y ·1,, We live a short while on earth below, Reluctant to die for we do not know Just what "dark death" is all about And so we view it with fear and doubt Not certain of what is around the bend We look on death as the final end To all that made us a mortal being And yet there lies just beyond our seeing A beautiful life so full and complete That we should leave with hurrying feet To walk with God by sacred streams Amid beauty and peace beyond our dreams For all who believe in the RISEN LORD Have been assured of this re ward And death for them is just "graduation" To a higher realm of wide el evation For life on earth is a transie nt affair, Just a few brief years in which to prepare For a life that is free from pain and tears Where time is not counted by hours or years For death is only the method God chose To colonize heaven with the souls of those Who by their apprenticeship on earth Proved worthy to dwell in the land of new birth So death is not sad . .. it's a time for elation, A joyous transition ... the soul's emigration Into a place where the soul's SAFE and FREE To live with God through ETERNITY! HELEN STEINER RICE ~-. �She' s sunshine and laughter, she's moonlight and roses The lilt in the love songs a writer composes A hopeless romantic and realist in one Who knows that her husband is second to none A starry-eyed girl with her dolls packed away And her heart in the home that she 's making today A woman who capably works out a plan With femin ine "logic" that mystifies man She's sweetheart, companion and weaver of dreams A lovable creature who always, it seems Is delighted by babies, depressed by the rain And devoted to fads she herself can 't explain A darling, who though she may puzzle and tease you Asks no more of life than to pamper and please you And the chance when you 're tired or lonesome or blue To set your world right • w;,h ,h, wo,d, " I lo.e yo"" ~ ~~ri<.~~· �1all Jearers Ben Reeder Chester Jones J.
