Carol Darlene Brandriff

Carol Brandriff 1935-2018 Carol was born in Long Beach Ca. August 29, and went to be with her Lord on August 16, just short of her 83rd birthday. Her faith and love of her family were driving forces in her life and her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were her pride and joy. From humble beginnings to the family Matriarch and wife of 63 years Carol spent her life serving God and her family with the selflessness of a Saint. She will be greatly missed by those that knew and loved her. Carol's life was filled with a diversity of jobs and missions, from an elevator operator, to what she perceived as her most important task in life which was being a wife and raising her boys. When the boys were grown she would go on to work at a newspaper and later work and assist seniors at a convalescent facility. She would help her youngest with his business ventures and eventually revel in the joy of being a grandmother and great grandmother. Her life was an adventure and with her mission complete the Lord has called her home to enjoy her rewards. Carol was preceded to Heaven by her son David and grandson Sean so she will be well received. She is survived by her husband, Bernie, her son John & wife Taffi, her son Robert, David's wife Lori, sister-in-law Barbara, grandchildren Ashley, Austin, Chad, Jason, Lauren, Maggie, Windsor and great grandchildren Aiden, Austin Jr., Kayla, Kaylin, Michael, Michelle, Tulia, Warren and Zoie.
