Carole A. (Evon) Flood

Carole Anne Flood, age 77, passed away peacefully on Friday, July 12, 2019 at her home surrounded by her loving family in Geneva, IL.

She was born January 24, 1942, at Resurrection Hospital in Chicago to Henry Evon and Norine (Arp) Evon. She graduated Sienna High School in 1959 Chicago, IL. She met the love of her life William in high school, while he was working in a grocery store. They married October 15th, 1960 and starting their large family. Carole was Co-CEO of Flood Bros Disposal Co. with William in helping guide and grow the family business from 1 truck in 1960 to 145 today.  She was an avid volunteer in hospice care, suicide prevention, volunteer at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, and she started a family Christmas food packing for the poor that fed up to 4,000 people.  Carole was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was a spiritual lady and was always involved in church activities. Carole was an avid Bingo player and loved traveling back to Las Vegas on many occasions with family and friends. Carole truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; spending time with her family, traveling, entertaining, SHOPPING, and taking care of others.
