Burial: William A. Caudill Family Cemetery, Oil Springs, Kentucky

Carole Dean Caudill, age 80, of Oil Springs, Kentucky, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, January 29, 2023 at Community Hospice Care Center in Ashland, Kentucky.

She was born May 6, 1942 to the late Kermit and Pauline Caudill Conley.  She married her love, Eldon Carroll Caudill, on June 10, 1961.

In addition to her husband and her parents, she is preceded in death by one brother, Robert Lowell Conley, a brother-in-law, Phillip Caudill, and two infant siblings, Alice Faye and Darrell Conley.

She is survived by one son, Eldon Leo Caudill and a very special daughter-in-law who cared for her daily, Vicky Adkins Caudill of Oil Springs, Kentucky; two daughters, Joyce (Larry) Meadows of Wittensville, Kentucky and Belinda (Scott) Blanton of Cynthiana, Kentucky; seven grandchildren, Zach (Jessica) Meadows, Whitney (Marco) Caudill, Larissa (Jordan) Witten, Joey (Casey) Blanton, Hunter (Emily) Blanton, Hannah (Tyler) Caudill, and Wynter Hope Blanton; and eight great-grandchildren, Jaxson, Sofia, Marco, Ellee Jo, Hattie, Owen, Reid, and Stella.  She is also survived by three sisters, Wanda (George), Violet (Glenn) and Juanita (Milton); one brother, Kermit (Joann); three sisters-in-law, with a special mention of her cherished best friend, Linda Lou (Charles); as well as a great host of nieces, nephews, and other beloved family.

Beyond being a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother, she was a gifted seamstress.  Over the years, she handcrafted a beautiful wardrobe for her daughters, along with many formal dresses for their proms and weddings.  She was a member of the Beachwall United Baptist Church, the Oil Springs Fire Department Women's Auxiliary, the Oil Springs Homemakers, and the Johnson County 4-H Council.  She loved spending time with her grandchildren, making the best meals and rice krispy treats, crocheting, sewing, and quilting.  She was very involved with her family and neighbors, and spent many years caring for her mommy, who she loved most of all.  She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
