A celebration of life service will be held 11:00 am on Thursday, July 30, 2026 at Gordon Memorial Methodist Church in Winnsboro, South Carolina with the Reverend Kem Thomas and Reverend JD Wilson officiating. A private burial will be held at a later date.

Born on October 7, 1950 in Chester, South Carolina, Carol was the daughter of the late CB Trotter and Doris F. Trotter. She was a graduate of Great Falls High School and retired from Springs Global after many years of dedicated service.

Carol was a faithful member of Gordon Memorial Methodist Church, where she lovingly served as the church pianist, until her health no longer allowed her. A gifted and talented pianist, she shared her musical talents generously, bringing comfort, inspiration, and joy to countless worship services and special occasions. Music was one of the greatest gifts, and through it she touched the hearts of many.

She is survived by her son, Russell Eugene Walden of Gaffney, South Carolina; her sisters, Donda T. Roof of Great Falls, South Carolina and Sonja T. Wilson (David) of Great Falls, South Carolina; her brother, Michael Trotter of Great Falls, South Carolina; two nieces, and five nephews; and a special friend, Joe Sanders.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Kay Trotter; and her brothers, Brady Trotter and Phillip Trotter.

Memorials may be made to Gordon Memorial Methodist Church.

Arrangements are entrusted to Washington Funeral Home in Great Falls, South Carolina.
