It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Carol Ann Sowell Roark.

She was a beautiful lady who spread joy and happiness wherever she went. She was a positive light that was always shining, bringing a smile to anyone she encountered, and warmth into the hearts of everyone she touched.

Carol passed away on Tuesday February 4, 2025 at the age of 76, but lived a long life filled with optimism and joy.

Carol was an alumnus of Marshall County High School, and proudly attended David Lipscomb University before transferring to and graduating from UTC. She spent her career teaching art and influencing generations of students, many of whom she remembered for the rest of her life.

Carol leaves behind her son, Randolph Jason Roark; beautiful daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Kristen Roark; beloved grandson, Randolph Joseph Tiernan Roark; and brother, Thomas (Janice) Sowell of Louisville, KY.

She will be eternally missed by both family and friends.

There will be a Celebration of Life Service at noon on March 15, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 5001 Hixson Pike at Highway 153, Hixson.

Arrangements are by the North Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home, Crematory, and Florist, 5401 Highway 153 Hixson, TN 37343.
