Carroll was born in Sacul, Texas, on July 8, 1933, to Nolan Newton Gresham and Minnie Ethel Gresham. Carroll was a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps – a pride that was obvious in every facet of his life. Carroll was always polite, on time, courteous, self-reliant, and in service to his community. Carroll married the love of his life Mildred Marie – and together they created a beautiful life and family. Carroll was a hard worker – who worked hard for his wife, family, and employers. Carroll worked as a retail store manager and buyer for the JB White Company for most of his early career. Carroll volunteered much time with the Marine Corps League of Jacksonville, donating time in honor of veterans. Carroll loved his life, family, and community – and he will be missed by all.
