Charles Patrick Carroll

Charlie is survived by his wife, Jeanie Daniel Duck; his children and their spouses Sarah Carroll Hydon and Rob Hydon, Tim Carroll and Laurie Gold Carroll; his stepdaughter Jennifer Duck; his grandchildren Charlie Carroll, Jay Carroll, Mackenzie Hydon, and Avery Hydon; his sister Rosalyn Carroll Kraft and nephews Joseph and Robert Kraft.

Charlie was born on July 18, 1939, in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Rose K. and Walter C. Carroll. He graduated from Cretin High School. He went on to earn his B.A. at Providence College, and his Juris Doctor degree at Northwestern University. He was a member of the Bar in Minnesota and Illinois. Charlie loved the law and believed strongly in his role as client advocate. He was intellectually curious and an avid reader who enjoyed researching and learning.

Charlie was very fortunate to have met his beloved Jeanie when she moved to Minneapolis from Alabama; they married June 20th, 1980. For over 45 years they built their unshakable bond, delighted in one another, and supported each other’s careers. They took every opportunity to travel the world and enjoy friends and family far and near.

Charlie was an accomplished athlete. He enjoyed hockey, volleyball, golf, tennis, rollerblading, sailing and skiing. He was an enthusiastic boater living on or near the water in Excelsior, Minnesota, Chicago, Illinois, and Coral Gables, Florida. After moving to Miami in 1998, Charlie served as the first President of the Board of Directors for Deering Bay Yacht and Country Club, and on one or more of its affiliate boards for over 20 years.

His memorial service is scheduled for Sunday, November 19, 2023, at 1:00 pm, at Plymouth Congregational Church in Coconut Grove, Florida. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Charlie’s life and legacy. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in his name. The family would like to thank the amazing staff of South Miami Hospital for their skill and dedication in caring for Charlie and all his loving friends, family and the Deering Bay community who have been so incredibly supportive through this challenging time.
