Carroll grew up in Buffalo Gap, Texas and survived Polio at the age of 8. She was in the first Iron Lung in Taylor County at Hendrix Memorial Hospital. She went on to walk, as they said she would not, play sports and become a cheerleader in Wylie School and have a family. She was a friend to everyone she met and a positive spirit to others as she lived her life. She was a member of North Irving Baptist Church and leaves behind many friends there. She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Larry Rugh Joyner; one daughter, Debbie Brink (Walter); two sons, Tom Wilson and Ed Wilson (Leticia); two grand-daughters; two grand-sons; three step grand-daughters and two great-grandsons.
