Carol Rapp of DeBery, Fla. was born on November 2, 1932. She departed this life on January 10, 2014, at Fish Memorial Hospital, DeBery, Fla. She was the daughter of Luther L. Irby and Marcella Wallace Irby. She was the first of three daughters and these three sisters were known as the "3 Little Irby Girls" throughout their lives.
Carol graduated from Aurora, Mo. High School in 1950 and married Victor M. Rapp on July 14, 1951, at Eureka Springs, Ark.
Vic was in the army stationed in Korea when their first daughter, Rhonda, was born. When Vic returned home, he went back to college to further his "coaching" career. Two other daughters were born to this union, Paula and Marla.
Carol was best-friend and "soul-mate" to her husband, Vic, and supported him throughout his coaching career. She was his best "cheerleader!" She and Vic had many friends in the coaching field.
Carol was also a loving mother to her three girls. She sewed beautifully, and had inherited her father's artistic talent. This talent manifested itself in many ways, but she was especially good at oil painting.
Carol always loved to read; and, like the rest of her family, was addicted to "chocolate." She had a gentle personality and a beautiful soul and never had a harsh or bad word for anybody.
Carol was a devoted Christian, having been baptized as a young girl in the Methodist Church, in Aurora, Mo. She attended the United Methodist Church in DeBery.
Carol was preceded in death by her parents, a sister-in-law, Virginia Smith; three brother-in-laws, Eddie Gold, Don Bassore and Gene Smith; and two nephews, Gregory Kent Gold and David Bassore.
She is survived by her husband and three daughters; Marla Rivera and her husband, Scott, of DeBery, Paula Learn and her husband, Peter, of Vancouver Island, Can., and Rhonda Olafson and her husband, Bill, of Red Deer, Alb., Can. She is also survived by her two sisters, Gloria Gold and Linda Rauch and her husband, Tom, of Aurora, Mo.; and a sister-in-law, Betty Bassore of Maionville, Mo. Other survivors include six grandchildren,six great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews, and many other relatives and friends.
