Walter Jene "Ted" Carroll was born January 2, 1931 in Three Rivers, TX to Walter Jepathy Carroll and Bertie Jackson Carroll and passed from this life on February 10, 2021 in Grand Prairie, TX.

Ted was a hard-working entrepreneur. He grew up in during the depression and was often hungry as a child. He swore he would never have to do that again, and he didn't.

Ted is survived by his son, David Carroll; his daughter, Janice Gray and husband, Tracy; his daughter, Patty Hilton and husband, Suel; his sisters, Bessie Carroll, Ozella Lipscomb and husband, John; his grandchildren, Avery and Laura Gray, Rick Reeder, Tracy Reeder, Chris Souder, Derek Souder, and Scotty Ray Weekly; his great-grandchildren, Ely, Ty, Branson, Trey, and Emma; and his second wife, Nell Stogner Carroll.
