Carol grew up in Greensboro and graduated from Rankin High School.  She married Bob Winslow and together they raised two children.  While the children were young, Carol was a stay at home mother who made sure the home was filled with love and laughter.  Once they were grown, she was employed by Long’s Accounting Service.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Robert G. Winslow and her son, Greensboro Police Officer Michael G. Winslow, who died in the line of duty.

She is survived by her daughter Cindy Winslow Young and her husband, Bob of Greensboro, NC. 

Grandsons:  Joshua Young and wife Dr. Elizabeth Johnson-Young of Fredericksburg, VA.  Christopher Young and wife Dr. Allison Young of Chapel Hill, NC.

Great grandchildren include:  Hadley and Jillian Young of Fredericksburg, VA and Emerson and Sam Young of Chapel Hill, NC.

Other survivors include her favorite niece Melba Winslow Altman of Greensboro, NC and dear family friend Curtis “Pep” Cockman also of Greensboro, NC.

The family would like to thank Authoracare Collective (formerly known as Hospice of Greensboro) for walking with us on this journey.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Authoracare Collective, 2500 Summit Avenue, Greensboro, NC 27405 or to Carraway United Methodist Church, 1301 Sixteenth Street, Greensboro, NC  27405.

Most people did not realize that mom had been an Authoracare (Hospice) patient for the last eight months of her life as she requested the information be kept confidential. As her primary caregiver, I can never thank them enough for the compassion and care given not only to my mother, but to our entire family. They were always there to guide and provide. They are truly Angels on earth and I will be eternally grateful. Cindy Winslow Young
