She was an Auxiliary member of Jimmie Lillard Post No. 31 of the American Legion in Rossville KS. Here are things people say about Carol Jory. A larger than life figure in the community; a very social person, but also very private. Kind, generous, gentle, artistic, a lover of wildlife and nature. Occasionally, mischievous and a rebel. She always had time to talk and an interest in what others were doing. We all felt lucky to have had you in our lives. She was preceded in death by her parents, a son David S. Jory (1986), and former husband Farnham S. Jory (2004). Survivors include her daughter Lelean A. Smith, her son Ross M. Jory, and sister Deborah A. Hughes. A private graveside service will be in the Topeka Cemetery. Memorial services in Topeka KS and the Bay Area, CA will be held on a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation of a book may be made to the Rossville Elementary or High School or the Rossville Community Library.
