Carol

Sproat

In loving memory of Carol Sproat, who peacefully passed away at home surrounded by her beloved family on November 11, 2026. Born on March 18, 1944, in Washington, Missouri, Carol was a beacon of love and warmth throughout her life, leaving an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Carol was the cherished daughter of Lyle and Gladys Wright, and she was predeceased by her loving parents and in-laws, Loy and Mary Sproat. She is survived by her devoted husband of 60 years, Keith, with whom she shared a beautiful life centered around love, family, and faith. Their journey began shortly after Carol graduated from Central Missouri State College with a Bachelor's degree in Dietetics and Nutrition on May 21, 1966. A week later, on May 29, 1966, she married Keith, the love of her life.

Carol's career was one of dedication and compassion. She initially worked as a dietician at a local nursing home, ensuring the well-being of others through her expertise in nutrition. Later, she became affectionately known as "the lady in the window" at the University bookstore. However, her greatest role was perhaps at home, where she chose to care for her grandchildren, nurturing them with love and wisdom.

Faith played a significant role in Carol's life. For the past decade, she was an active and beloved member of the Leeton Christian Church, where she formed deep and meaningful friendships. Her community there was a source of joy and spiritual nourishment.

Carol's hobbies reflected her nurturing spirit. She was an avid cook and baker, often sharing her culinary creations with family and friends. Her love for reading was evident in the rooms full of books she eagerly shared with others. Carol also had a talent for writing heartfelt cards, filled with beautiful words that touched the hearts of many.

A woman of wit and kindness, Carol's laughter and warm smile could brighten any room. Her loving nature and sharp sense of humor were blessings to all who encountered her.

Carol's legacy lives on through her husband, Keith, her four children-Randy (Trish), Rusty (Kim), Ronny (Tara), and Christy (Glenn)-her eleven grandchildren, and five great- grandchildren. Each carries forward the values and love she instilled in them.

A service to celebrate Carol's remarkable life will be held at the Leeton Christian Church, on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. where friends and family will gather to honor her memory and the joy she brought into their lives. A visitation will take place an hour prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Show Me Christian Youth Home, an organization close to Carol's heart, reflecting her lifelong commitment to caring for others or the Adams Cemetery. Contributions may be left in care of the funeral home.

Carol's life was a testament to love, kindness, and faith. Her memory will forever be cherished, and her spirit will continue to inspire those who knew and loved her.
