Andrews: Caroel Ann White-Nowak died peacefully on Saturday morning, November 24, 2012, at Georgetown Memorial Hospital. Caroel was born in Miami, Fla. on February 3, 1937. Her family moved from Miami to Andrews in the late 1930s when her father found work at the Kraft Paper Mill in Georgetown. The White family lived in the house located on highway 41 south of Andrews a short distance south from where the new Andrews bypass crosses highway 41. She and her family moved to the Panama Canal Zone in 1946, where they lived until 1950, when they returned to Andrews, to their same house on highway 41. Caroel attended Andrews High School, and was graduated from there in 1955. Caroel was very creative. She wrote a regular column for the Georgetown Times newspaper for a time, which was very popular with the Times readers. Some of these articles featured stories about local residents who did unusual things, such as "Trader John" about a man in Andrews who was quite adept at swapping and trading what most people would consider junk into items that could be sold for profit. Or the article about the man she interviewed on the side of the road in Andrews who was walking his way across the U. S. But this is her obituary in her own words: "Just say: ' She was a faithful Witness of Jehovah for fifty years and served both here in South Carolina, and as a missionary in Ecuador, South America for eight years, helping people to understand the truth from the Bible about God's coming kingdom that will soon bring everlasting peace and happiness to all mankind. She looked forward to the time that God has promised when all righteous hearted ones will find delight in being resurrected right here on Earth made into Paradise. According to her belief in the words of Jesus, she is just ''taking a little nap" John 11:11, 14-44: [Jesus said to his disciples:] "Our friend has gone to rest, but I am going there to wake him from sleep" ' " Caroel is survived by her younger brother, James White of Decatur, Ga., by her daughter, April Nowak-Tolen, of Washington state, her son, Kirk Nowak of Chicago, Ill., her grandson John Ethridge, granddaughters Stephanie Evans, and Tiffany Pierce, of Georgetown, Crystal Le Day, of Louisiana and Tosha Nowak of Chicago, Ill., and by numerous great grandchildren, which include Olivia, Emily, and Sarah Evans of Georgetown, and Dominic Tolen and Gabriel Tolen, both of Chicago, Ill. Services will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, December 1, 2012, at the Andrews Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witness, 1135 Big Dam Swamp Road in Andrews. Sign a guestbook at: www.mayerfuneralhome.com.
