Called Home by God -

A Sorrowful Loss to the District

After several years of battling brain tumors, that wonderful, inimitable, great lady of the 12th District, Carole Ebersole, was transferred to heaven on the evening of Tuesday, September 21, 2021, at the age of 74.

President of the Gahanna Post 797 Ladies Auxiliary unit and a vital part of Central Ohio's American Legion Ladies Auxiliary for decades, her passing has left a hole in our hearts. No words can describe how sorely her light will be missed, and her absence has left our world a little bit colder... But heaven will now be a little bit warmer.

May God have mercy on her soul.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her and to her staunch, loving  husband Steve, our 12th District Council's reliable executive secretary.
