Notes for Carole Beulah Steele
Carole Steele Eagle

CHARLOTTE - Carole Steele Eagle, 70, died Monday, Jan. 17, 2011, peacefully at home after a long, courageous battle with breast cancer.

Born May 23, 1940 in Rowan County, she was the daughter of the late Carl F. Steele, Sr. and Elizabeth McNeely Steele.

Carole married Gene Eagle in 1959 and moved to Charlotte where they have lived for the last 52 years. She was a loving wife and mother and a very talented artist.

Reflected in her famous smile was the joy she took in family and friends. Her passion for life was symbolized by her red hair. She had a heartfelt appreciation for each small beauty the world has to offer. The patience and detail of her artwork are a testament to her vision. http://caroleagle.weebly.com

She was a true art lover, visiting art museums with the excitement of a football fan attending the super bowl. She knew the botanical names of every plant, was an accomplished and dedicated correspondent, a pianist, and a connoisseur of fine china, cosmetics, jewelry and art supplies. Everything in her life she took on with gusto. Being a perfectionist, she always saw room for improvement in her decor, recipes and art as well as in her family. Her high standards often meant her projects were not completed to her liking. Her bright light will be sorely missed.

She is survived by her husband, Gene; daughters, Andra (Keith) Kelly of Charlotte, Amber (Guillermo) Eagle Steele Rosas of Houston, Tex. and San Miguel, Mexico; granddaughter, Ava Elizabeth Kelly; sisters, Maxie Swindler and husband Jack; Sandra Bradshaw and husband John; and brother Carl F. Steele, Jr. and wife Nancy.

Funeral Services: Will be held at Third Creek Presbyterian Church on Friday, Jan. 21 at 11a.m. with burial following in the church cemetery.

Visitation: The family will receive friends one hour preceding the service in the fellowship hall.

Memorials: In lieu of flowers the family requests memorials to made to Third Creek Presbyterian Church; or the American Cancer Society, c/o Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

The family wishes to thank everyone for the thoughtful visits, cards and calls during her illness. They also wish to thank Sandra and Pierre for all of their love and support as well as our friends at Hospice.

Summersett Funeral Home, Salisbury, is serving the family.
