Carla Holbrook

Carla Holbrook, aged 67, of Quincy, IL passed away on Friday, May 26, 2023, at her home in Quincy, IL. She was born July 3, 1955, in Moline, IL to Donald LeRoy and Letha Leona Easley Schultz.

Carla graduated from Excelsior High School in 1975 and went on to Excelsior Vocational Technical School where she earned her CNA and Med Tech certifications. Her compassionate nature led her to work with geriatric patients, and she dedicated herself to serving the elderly. Carla cared deeply for her patients and found great joy in her work. She concluded her career at the Illinois Veterans’ Home, but was forced into early retirement due to health concerns. Aside from her profession, she had a passion for crafting, including sewing, crocheting, and vinyl weaving. In her younger years, Carla loved to travel, swim, garden, and had a special fondness for animals, particularly raising rabbits. She was a loving and caring woman, although sometimes stubborn, and her family will miss her deeply.

Carla is survived by two sons, Jeremy (Felicia McNett) Holbrook of Palmyra, MO and Chris Holbrook of Quincy, IL; four grandchildren, Daniel Holbrook, Jaylynn Holbrook, Anna Holbrook and Haylee Holbrook; brothers, Rusty Schultz of Durham, MO, Donald Schultz, Jr. of Barry, IL and John (Sally Curtis) Schultz of Coconut Creek, FL; and sister, Dawnetta (Doug) Main of Barry, IL.
