In Memory of Carol Ann: Family Support Needed

My mother, Carol Ann Slick Ellis, passed away on December 4, 2024. She was taken from her family. She worked so hard and never missed a holiday until this year.

She had 8 children: 4 girls - Shane Caren, Margo Caren, Dawn Miller, Dana Caren; and her sons - Jim Caren, Den Caren, Martin Caren, Daniel Caren. The death of our mom came fast. She was diagnosed with stage 4 small cell lung cancer. She struggled with chemo and radiation, but it was too far advanced to keep her alive. She was taken away from her family and friends. She worked hard and always helped everyone. She had love for everyone. She had many grandchildren that she truly loved and always will: Kaddell Caren, Thomas Caren, Keanu Caren, Elijah Briggs, Nevaeh Russell, and many more. She was the rock in the family, the one who held us together, and it's so hard to put into words how blessed we were to have her.

Our family is struggling to get the cremation, and the cost is too much. We never asked for help before, but right now anything would help. Thank you and God bless. The Caren family
