Obituary of Carroll Laney
Carroll Lee Laney, 76, of Jacksonville, passed away at his home Monday, October 8, 2007. He was born October 24, 1930, in Granite Falls, NC. He is remembered as a loving husband, devoted father, caring brother and beloved uncle.
Carroll was preceded in death by his parents, Walter Lee and Linda Oxford Laney, and a brother, Dale Alexander Laney.

Carroll was a faithful member of Parkwood Baptist Church. He directed the Adult 1 Sunday School Department, and as an usher, enjoyed greeting and interacting with members and visitors as they arrived for Sunday morning services. He served as former church clerk and was a dedicated member of various church committees for several years.
Carroll served his country in the Air Force during the Korean War. He was an avid reader and a student of history, with special interest in the time and events of World War II.

He began a career with Internal Revenue Service in Jacksonville in 1957 as a Collection Officer, and received promotions in management throughout the following years. He also served in Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, and returned to Jacksonville as Field Branch Chief. He retired as Disclosure Officer in 1985. Additionally, he had numerous IRS teaching assignments, served on several national office task forces in Washington DC and elsewhere, and received several awards.
