Carol Morreale Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 31, 2012.

Carol Floyd Morreale, age 66 of Round Rock, Texas went home peacefully to be with the Lord on December 31, 2012 following a lengthy, brave struggle with cancer. She was born on August 4, 1946 in El Paso, Texas, the daughter of Army Lieutenant Alfred Jennings Floyd and Margaret Floyd. As a member of a military family, she traveled to several foreign countries and numerous locations in the US. Carol attended college at the University of Maryland in Munich, Germany and graduated from the University of Arizona with a teaching degree in Spanish and French. In February, 1970 Carol married then Lieutenant Dennis Lee Morreale, and for the next thirty years they relocated to nineteen different overseas and US Army assignments. She was an awesome Army wife who spent countless hours helping Soldiers and their families. Carol worked as a school teacher, basic skills instructor for the US Army, and eventually as a dental office manager when the family settled in Round Rock in 1996. Her passion was to spend as much time as possible at the family's second home on Lake LBJ. Carol enthusiastically pursued boating, jet skiing and loving on her five grandchildren who visited frequently. She loved to attend worship services at The Fellowship Church in Round Rock, Texas and was a true blessing to all who knew her.

Survivors include her husband of almost 43 years, Colonel (retired) Dennis Lee Morreale; son Anthony Todd Morreale of Cedar Park, Texas; daughter Amy Morreale Graff of Cincinnati, Ohio; brother Alfred Jennings Floyd Jr. of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and five beautiful grandchildren: Reagan, Morgan, Mayson, Peyton and Cooper….they were the joy of her life.

Carol was preceded in death by her oldest brother, Richard Eaton Floyd and her parents, Colonel (retired) Alfred Jennings Floyd and Margaret Eaton Floyd.

Special thanks to the wonderful doctors and staff from Scott and White hospitals in Round Rock and Temple, Texas.

Visitation will be held from 6:00pm-8:00 pm on Sunday, January 6, 2013 at Cook-Walden Capital Parks Funeral Home, 14501 N. IH 35, Pflugerville, TX.

Amy and Morreale Family- Carol was an amazing woman and loving mother and wife. Although, I only got the chance to see her when she came to Cincinnati the past 15 years, I feel like I've known her a lifetime here in Cincinnati. Amy- she was a beautiful devoted mom who loved her daughter dearly. She gave me one of the biggest blessings ever....her daughter as my best friend whom I consider a sister to me. God bless all of you, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I pray for all of your pain and sorrow and sufferings to go away and only precious memories remain. Love Always,

Marsha Graff

Dennis, Amy, Tony, and your families,
We knew Carol for only just a short time, but we certainly got a glimpse of her loving spirit. It was so evident that she loved the Lord, and that she cherished each of you.
We communicated often through her illness, and while we knew she was suffering, she continued to draw strength and hope from her faith in a mighty God. You all gave her such constant, loving care that she once told me ,"I'm blessed to be wrapped in family love".
We pray that God will comfort each of you in the coming days, and fill your heart with pride and joy each time you recall a precious memory.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Stan & Marsha Graff

I can honestly tell you that time is the best way for you to heal. If you ever need to talk/cry I am always available. You and your family are in my prayers.

Dennis, I am saddened beyond words at the news of my dear friend Carol's passing. She was my dearest friend, and I will always treasure the wonderful times she and I had as young "Army brats" on Fort Tilden, NY. We had some great "adventures," and now she is experiencing the most wonderful adventure of them all. I'm praying for you, for her brother Jay (who I remember with fondness), and for your children and grandchildren. Amy, I feel I know you from your kind notes to me during your mother's illness. May Our Lord Jesus wrap His loving arms around all of you and give you comfort and peace. Love always, Suzanne Dour Rothwell (Seattle, WA)

Dennis, I read about Carol's passing from a FaceBook friend last night as I am out of the state. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences on your and your family's loss, my Dearest Friend. In the time that I knew her, Carole was a lovely, gracious human being who graced the atmosphere by her vivacious nature. I feel a deep pain at her loss.

Every one of us in the group spent many prayer times for Carol's recovery. Al and I have such sad hearts tonight to learn of her passing. I know you and Carol loved each other so much, cared for each other in a huge way and were "glued" together as one. I am sorry that we are now so far away. However, our prayers will be close to you. Your good friends in Christ's love, Emily and Al
