A lifelong resident of Burlington City, Carabelle graduated in 1940 from Burlington City High School. Following graduation, she attended Nursing School at Abbington Hospital in Pennsylvania where she began her nursing career. She was a public heath nurse for the Board of Health, and a school nurse for All Saints school in Burlington.
Carabelle was a devoted member of St Mary’s parish in Burlington, where she was actively involved in several organizations including, President of ECW, The Vestry, and The Order of the Daughters of the King. She spent much of her time volunteering wherever she was needed, generously devoting her time to her Parish. Anyone who was fortunate enough to know Carabelle knew how loving and kind she was. Her outlook was positive through any storm, always offering kind words or advice to a friend or family member in distress. Her smile was contagious, and in her final hours she was a beacon of light to those surrounding her. We can’t help but feel a glow of joy when reminded of the outstanding woman Carabelle was, and the beautiful legacy she leaves behind.
