Carol Correll Poston, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and laughter.

Born July 9, 1960, Carol was the daughter of the late Mildred “Jackie” Correll and Eugene “Gene” Correll. She was one of ten children. While her family was large, she shared especially close bonds with her sisters, the late Kathy Correll Cox and Connie Correll Frantz. She was also preceded in death by her siblings Walter “Dub” Correll, Ronald Eugene Correll, Dennis Eugene Correll, and Carolyn Naomi Correll, who passed away as a baby, and her beloved daughter, Carolyn Marie Poston. Her brothers Billy Wayne Correll, Charles “Bobby” Correll, and Larry Ronald Correll survive.

She is survived by her loving husband and soulmate of 50 years, Kenneth Eugene Poston. Their life together was built on deep love, loyalty, and unwavering support.

She is also survived by her children, Marilyn Poston Griffin (Tim), Kenneth Eugene Poston II (Kim), and Julianna Poston Luke (Edward); her grandchildren, Victoria Jacqueline Price, Erin Hope Griffin, Wesley Clyde Griffin, Kendle Faye Griffin, Kayleigh Nicole Poston, Kristen Abigail Poston, Kenneth Eugene Poston III, Aiden Scott Luke, Joel Kenneth Luke, and Aaron Gray Luke; and her great-grandchildren, Stephen Elijah “Eli” Matchett, Evelyn Jean “Evie” Matchett, and Mason Tyler Helms.

Funeral services will be held at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 in the chapel of Gordon Funeral Service, 1904 Lancaster Ave. Monroe, NC 28112.

Carol was a beautiful person inside and out, known for her quick wit and unmistakable sense of humor. She could make people laugh at just the right moment and had a way of bringing light into even the hardest days.

She worked as a city bus driver for CATS for many years and also spent time as a school bus driver, where she built meaningful connections with the students she transported. Many will remember her kindness, her patience, and the steady presence she brought to their daily routines. Her true passion was her work as a tax preparer, a career she enjoyed for more than 40 years. She genuinely loved helping people and took pride in her knowledge, always making sure those she helped felt taken care of.

Carol had a special way of making people feel like family-whether they were lifelong friends, neighbors, or people she met along the way. She gathered people into her life and held them close.

She will be remembered for her loving heart, her humor, her strength, and her deep devotion to her family. Her love will live on in the many lives she touched.
