Carol Roselli Taylor, 74, passed away on Sunday, September 20, 2026, in Little Rock, Arkansas, surrounded by the love and presence of her family and those who loved her most.
Carol was born on July 17, 1952, in Paterson, New Jersey, to Charles and Evelyn Roselli. She gave 25 years of service to the US Federal Government, working as a paralegal for nine judges. She enjoyed a career that reflected her intelligence, dedication, and exceptional work ethic.
Carol was a devout Catholic whose faith was an important and constant part of her life. She found great joy in serving others and giving her time through volunteer work. She loved gardening, singing, and making things beautiful. An avid sports fan, she especially loved cheering on the Arkansas Razorbacks, New York Yankees, and Golden State Warriors. Nothing brought her greater happiness than her family, especially her grandchildren.
She will be remembered for her deep faith, her generous heart, and the love she had for the people who meant the most to her. Her family was her greatest joy, and the love and memories she gave them will remain long after her passing.
Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Charles Roselli and Evelyn Roselli, her four brothers, Thomas Roselli, Richard (Hip) Roselli, Charles Roselli, John Roselli, nephew Clinton Roselli, and niece, Nikki Roselli.
She is survived by her daughters, JoAnn Taylor (Bryan) of Maumelle, Arkansas, and Dawn Powell (Matthew) of Little Rock, Arkansas; her grandson, Cameron Brandt Meharg; her four granddaughters, Zoey Elizabeth Taylor, Addison Marie Taylor, Abby Rhea Powell, and Lilly Marie Powell, her great-grandson, Cameron Brandt Meharg II; several dear nieces and nephews, and the many beloved friends whose lives she touched and who were blessed by her friendship throughout the years.
Carol leaves behind a family who loved her deeply, a lifetime of memories, and a legacy of faith that will continue through those she loved.
Her presence will be missed in countless ways—in the everyday moments, family gatherings, celebrations, and traditions that will never quite be the same without her. Those who loved her will carry forward the lessons she taught them, the memories they shared, and the faith that guided her throughout her life.
Though she will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in knowing that the faith she held so dearly throughout her life has now brought her home.
