Carol Ann Kendall

August 26, 1937 - July 2, 2021

Carol Ann Kendall peacefully transcended this mortal realm July 2nd. She was the treasured only child of Arthur Kendall and Audrey Eddleman Kendall, born August 26th, 1937. Carol accompanied her mom, an RN, to many of the functions of the old General Hospital, became entranced, choosing to study nursing, finally attaining the trail blazing degree of Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. She worked for the Jefferson County Health Department for thirty years promoting just that: good health for all her young patients, acting as a spirited, but levelheaded mentor to the many families she touched. Christ Church Cathedral was a home and family to her as well and she served, among other positions, as Mother to the boys of the Men and Boys Choir and Directress of the Altar Guild. She leaves many loyal and much-loved friends among the congregation. Left to cherish her memory are her dear friends Bette Dries, a fellow health department nurse; Kay and Jon Wilkinson; Jan Mangarum; Neil Larson; her favorite cousin Ted Eddleman and Claire Ellen Cowley, MD. Carol’s catching up with many who have gone before, among them Bettye (a fellow NP) and Glenn Lewis and her pets: Maxi Cat, Ming and Bette’s Big Boy. Thank you to Sunrise of Louisville for the loving care she received there in this last chapter of her life. We will honor her existence with a funeral service at Christ Church Cathedral on Thursday, July 8th at 11AM with a reception to follow at the Cathedral, 421 S. 2nd St. Louisville, KY 40202. Carol loved children, plants and animals. Memorial in her name can go to the Endowment Fund for Christ Church Cathedral or to the Waterfront Botanical Garden.
