Carol and William “Bill” Altman met in High School at the age of 16 and were married in February of 1971.  From there they moved to Raleigh, NC to begin their life together.  They had two sons: William Terral Altman, III and John Paul Altman.  After a few years they moved the family to Atlanta, GA where Carol went to work at Emory University Hospital.   

Carol was a devoted Christian, loving wife, and a doting mother for her boys and grandchildren.  Her family was the most important thing in Carol’s life.  She devoted her whole being to her husband, her sons, and grandchildren.  She was always their biggest cheerleader.  Eventually the family moved to Raeford, NC to be near extended family.  Carol went to work at Pinehurst Medical Center.  In retirement, Carol and Bill moved to Holden Beach, NC and for 20 years lived on and enjoyed all the island had to offer.  Carol enjoyed eating dinners out, cooking at home for her family, walking on the beach with her soulmate, Bill, and spending time with her 6 grandchildren.  

William “Bill” preceded Carol in death in January of 2024.  Now 18 months later Carol has gone to be with her soulmate in eternity.  William “Bill” and Carol were married for 53 years and were together for over 60 years.
