Earl Louis Caroline, 68, affectionately known by those who love him as Pearl, entered eternal rest on Monday, July 6, 2020. Earl was born to the late Louis Caroline and the late Ruby Caroline in Columbia, SC on March 20, 1952.
Earl graduated from Eau Claire High School in 1969 and attended South Carolina State College.
As a result of his caring and generous spirit, Pearl was loved by many. You couldn’t be in his presence long before his comical ways made you laugh. He was articulate, intellectual, and loved sharing historical facts and current events. Earl’s vocabulary was one of his own and had a sway in his walk that you could see a mile away. It will truly be missed by all.
Earl’s life will forever be remembered and cherished in the hearts of his brothers, Claude (Doris) Tidwell of Spartanburg, SC, and Antonio Caroline and William Carter of Columbia, SC; his sisters, Vivian Abrams of San Diego, CA, Ruthine Tidwell of Charlotte, NC, Vickie Greene, Valarie Lee, and Darlene Caroline of Columbia, SC; special friends who added tremendously to his life, Monica Perry, Diane Moses, and Audrey Al-amin; along with a host of grandchildren, nephews, nieces, and friends.
