Carol, the oldest child of Don and Marie (Kelley) Wimp, was born on Thursday, December 10, 1936 in Henderson, Texas. She was blessed with two brothers, David Winward and Steve Wimp. Carol graduated from Gravette High School in 1955 and married John Leslie Willard on March 13, 1956.
John and Carol made their home in Frankfurt, Kentucky and were blessed with two children, Donnie Leslie Willard and Mark Willard as well as grandchildren. Following John’s death, Carol and the boys moved to Joplin, MO where Carol lived the remainder of the life.
