Carol J. Hisle's Obituary
HISLE, Carol J., age 82, of West Carrollton and formerly of Waynesville and Lebanon, passed away on March 4, 2026 at Hospice of Dayton.
Carol dedicated much of her life to caring for others. She worked for several years at NCR in Dayton before serving more than 34 years at Otterbein Home in Lebanon, where she worked as a nurse aide and medical secretary before retiring in the late 1990s. Carol was a faithful member of Dodd’s Pentecostal Church.
Carol was known as a hardworking, dedicated, and a meticulous at keeping her home neat and orderly. She had a big giving heart, was family-oriented, and carried herself with a natural sense of class. She was extremely talented and artistic enjoying one of her favorite hobbies - crocheting and quilting. Throughout her life, she created many meticulous handmade pieces for family members and friends alike. Carol also enjoyed reading the Bible and mystery books. She had a special interest in collecting antique mystery books from the 1700s and 1800s.
Carol was well known for her baking. She was especially known for her chocolate chip cookies made with Nestlé Toll House chips and homemade pies, made from her perfectly made pie crusts. Carol was proud that she was able to pass down her pie crust recipe to her granddaughter, which was passed down to her from her mom. Chocolate and cream pies were among her family’s favorites. Carol enjoyed yard work and flower gardening, especially tending to her iris flowers and vegetable garden. She took pride in canning vegetables from her garden, particularly green beans, and even in recent years purchased corn so she could freeze it for later use.
Carol valued family traditions and independence. She spent winters in Florida caring for her parents until they passed away and later enjoyed traveling on her own to visit friends, including several trips to Canada and Niagara Falls. She also loved visiting garage sales, where she enjoyed searching for unique additions to her collections. Carol had an eye for beautiful items without excess and enjoyed collecting antique funeral fans, pottery, handkerchiefs, thimbles, glassware, and other unique pieces. Among many things, Carol will be remembered for her love of baking, quilting, and gardening, and for the generous heart she shared with family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Gordon Lamb and Gladys (Stuart) Lamb; her brother, Roger Lamb; her sister, Phyllis Johnson; her first husband, Wade Hisle; and her grandson, Justin Anderson. She is survived by her children, Bryan (Karlita) Hisle and Kimberly Anderson; her grandchildren, Stewart (Heather) Hisle, Lauren (Dustin) Ellis, Spencer (Amelia) Hisle, Shelby Anderson, and Jonah (Brianna) Anderson-Whitaker; and her great-grandchildren, Olivia, Colton, Wesley, and Adalynn.
