Mary Alice Williams
Carroll
Baker City, 1926-2015
Mary
Alice
Williams
Carroll,
88, died
on August
6, 2015 in
Mary
Baker City,
Carroll
Oregon.
She was born on August
17, 1926 in Baker, Oregon
to John B. and Margaret
William. Most of her
early childhood was spent
in lumber camps around
Bates, Austin and Whitney.
Her father worked for the
Oregon Lumber Company.
The family lived year
round in camp till her
brother John started to
school. Then they came to
Baker where they lived on
15th Street. She and John
went to Churchill School
through the 6th grade
except for the 4th grade
when they went to school
in a one room schoolhouse
in Whitney.
She remembers this year
as the best time of all her
happy childhood.
Her father came home
every night and they were
all together. Probably the
most important people in
her life as a child were
her Brothers; John was 16
months older than she and
was the fount of all her
knowledge. Berley was 21
years older and she adored
him.
When they came to
Baker from camp, he took
her on his knee and they
coagulated paint charts and
she was allowed to choose
the color he would paint
the equator that week. She
took this responsibility
very seriously. The equa-
tor had to be painted often
because “it is hot.”
Mary went to Helen M.
Stark Junior High School
and graduated from Baker
High in 1944. On Febru-
ary 17, 1946 she mar-
ried her childhood friend
George L. Carroll.
They were married in
the old Christian Church
on the corner of 4th and
Church Street. They spent
most of their early mar-
ried life in Baker. George
worked as a meat cutter.
They had three sons
and a daughter. In 1954
George re-enlisted in
the Navy and the family
moved around quite a lot.
George left the service in
1961 and they settled in
Esparto, California where
they raised their family and
lived for over 30 years.
They returned home to
Baker City in 1992.
Mary enjoyed doing
needlepoint and many a
home has her work hung
on the wall. She also
knitted slippers and dish
cloths, all year to give as
Christmas gifts.
She was preceded in
death by her husband of 56
years, George who died in
2002, sons James, George
Jr. and Robert.
Mary is survived by
her daughter Maggie and
her husband Ken McGuire
of Baker City; Delores
Carroll of Vacaville,
California; Grandchildren
Kathleen and her husband
Levi Schomberg, Robert
Carroll, Laura Carroll all
of Baker City; Kristen

Dennis, John Williams and
his wife Rosa and their
son J.R.; many wonder-
ful friends - David Burris
was like a son to her;
good neighbors Bettie and
Marvin Schmidt who did
so many kind things for
her through the years; Julie
and her son Nick Bouchard
who kept her lawn mowed,
hedge trimmed, painted her
kitchen and other things
too numerous to mention;
Bev Coleman with whom
she enjoyed many a ham-
burger, shared holidays
and was a good friend;
Sunny and Jack Lillard of
Roseburg, Oregon who
called her Aunt Mary and
they had a longtime close
and loving relationship.
Last but not least her com-
panion and much loved
dog “Blossom Buttercup.”
Judy Chamard and John
Powell have welcomed
Blossom Buttercup into
their home. Mary was
at peace with this kind
gesture. She also leaves
numerous nieces, neph-
ews, cousins and extended
family.
There will be a Memo-
rial Service at Mt. Hope
Cemetery at a later date
for family and friends.
Date and time will be
announced. Julie made
a beautiful box at Mary’s
request for her cremains -
it was much admired and
appreciated. One thing
that Mary always said and
was “I have to live with
myself, and so I have to be
nice for myself to know.”
A huge thank you to Heart
& home Hospice especially
Seth, Erica, Ben & Lettye.
God bless you all for your
kindness & compassion
