Carole Lynne Blackburn
September 30, 1942 — August 24, 2014
Carole Lynne Blackburn, age 71 of Lacey, passed away Sunday, August 24, 2014 at Lifespan Good Samaritan Hospice in Battle Creek.
Carole was born on September 30, 1942 in Battle Creek, Michigan, the daughter of Dale F. and Mildred A. (McFarland) McComb. Carole graduated from Battle Creek Central High School, class of 1960.
She married Bobby Blackburn on April 6, 1961. Carole worked for the Kellogg Company from 1961 to 1969, retiring to raise her family.
Carole's life was her family. She was loving, generous, and kind and was also a very wise person. Carole had a quick wit and could always make you smile. She was a Cub Scout Den mother, Brownie and Jr. Girl Scout Leader. For fun, Carole enjoyed doing ceramics, going to Casinos, and was interested in Archeological Digs that were going on around the Country. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her, especially her special friend, Sweet Old Bob.
Carole was preceded in death by her parents, Dale and Mildred McComb and brother, David McComb.
She is survived by her husband, Bob Blackburn, sons, Charles (Angie) Blackburn of Sherwood, Robert (Michelle) Blackburn of Delton, daughters, Carleen (Greg) Hinsley of Hastings, Barbara (Randy) Walden of Reno, NV, ten grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
Memorial contributions may be made to Barry Community Hospice or Lifespan Good Samaritan Hospice.
A private family service will be held at a later date.
