Hazel Murline Carroll

March 12, 1936 — August 20, 2024

Marion, Kentucky

Hazel Murline Carroll, lovingly known as “Murt or Mom” to many, peacefully gained her angel wings on August 20, 2024. A true Christian warrior, her testimony of her personal relationship with the Lord, was a great influence on many as she portrayed her beliefs in her daily living. She dearly loved each of her family members and friends. Her favorite things were laughing, singing, playing games (a fierce competitor!!). An avid cook, she was always ready to help with family dinners, and being a lover of sweets, she was known for sneaking a piece of dessert before the meal. 

She married Samuel Brunetti at a young age, becoming a devoted wife and mother of four little girls. After 21 years of marriage, she lost her first love, and remarried later to Edward (Brad) Carroll, being brought together after they both suffered a great loss of their spouses to cancer.

A woman ahead of her time, her independent thinking and smart wit led to many adventures and projects that were out of the norm for most. She conquered unknown territory during these years, pursuing many passions.

Always a fashionista, she owned a very successful women’s clothing business, “Carroll’s Fashions”, where she would spend countless hours not just being the proprietor and/or a salesperson but connecting with other women that encouraged their self-esteem and self-worth. Each customer was truly important to her, most became not just long-term clientele but “friends”.

During her retirement, she began other new adventures, including designing and selling homes, traveling the United States, and becoming a loving grandmother.

During her final years she faced Dementia and ALS with pure grace. Never wavering, she continued to be the strong Christian warrior that we knew. Throughout this trial, she continued to praise her children, grandchildren, family and God. 

She would say that her greatness accomplishments were being a mom, a wife, a grandmother, a sister, a successful businesswoman and being a child of God.

She was born on March 12, 1936, to her parents Irvin and Mollie Reynolds.

She is survived by her four children: Sherri Riley (Terry), Gina Brunetti (Bill Johnson), Cathleen Brunetti Jackson, and Carleen Brunetti. She is also survived by five grandchildren Tara Chittenden (Josh), Shea Hawkins (Patrick), Sam Brunetti (Leslie), Payton Blankenship (Zak), and Kent Riley (Leslie). Other survivors include 18 great grandchildren, 4 great great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. 

She will be dearly missed by her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched with her kindness and generosity.

May she rest in peace and her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.
