Mary Carroll, dedicated volunteer
Mary K. Lenihan Carroll was a dedicated volunteer in every sense of the word.
Mrs. Carroll, 74, of Florence, died Saturday in St. Elizabeth Medical Center South, Edgewood.
Mrs. Carroll was foremost a mother and homemaker, but she found time to serve in numerous civic and political organizations, and to make friends doing it.
"She was a wonderful friend and mother. I'll miss her, as will her children and many, many people who knew her," said former Florence Mayor Evelyn Kalb.
Mrs. Carroll formerly served as a lay member of the Kentucky Licensure Board of Psychologists. She was also a former board member of the Northern Kentucky Area Development District and the Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission. She also belonged to the Florence Women's Club and Friends of Comprehensive Care.
"She kept busy," said her daughter, Peggy Nowak, of Burlington.
Mrs. Carroll was well known in political circles. She was a member of the Boone County Women's Democratic Club and the organization's ethics committee, as well as the bipartisan Northern Kentucky Women's Political Caucus, her daughter said.
Though she did not seek elective office herself, she was a strong influence on her son, Shawn Carroll, a member of the Boone County Board of Education.
"She most definitely influenced me," said Shawn Carroll, of Florence.
"She was an absolutely loyal Democrat, and a good friend," said former Boone County Judge- executive Bruce Ferguson.
Mrs. Carroll was a native of Covington, but most of her formative years were spent in Central Kentucky. She returned to Northern Kentucky and worked at Coppins' Department Store and at the Federal Reserve Bank in Cincinnati during World War II, her daughter said.
