Carol Strawbridge was admitted to the hospital on May 3, and died of COVID-19 on May 21 with her family watching 15 minutes away on Facetime as a nurse held her hand. She was 73 years old. Carol was a retired teacher and school principal, an active board member at the League of Women Voters, and taking all the precautions that she could to avoid catching COVID-19.
The much loved matriarch of her extensive family, Carol Strawbridge left an indelible mark on her community she helped, the kids she taught, and everyone who was fortunate to know her in any way.

My name is Audrey Black; I am the school counselor at Carnahan HSOF in St. Louis, MO with whom Ms. Strawbridge worked to get our eligible high school students registered to vote. She was a kind, patient, and gentle spirit who was passionate about our youth having the ability to vote. Today, I found out Ms. Strawbridge is deceased, and my heart was suddenly heavy. My condolences are with her family, and I pray they still have the strength to continue living with deeply fond memories of her. Thank you. Audrey Black
