Carole L. Burns, loving wife and mother sadly died peacefully on August 13, 2024, at the age of 67.
Carole is survived by her husband James of 45 years, her daughter Tracee, many cousins, nieces and nephews and her dog Sachee.
Carole was born in Ormond Beach, Florida on September 19, 1956, to Helen Ashwell and Walter Layton. She received her GED from high school and moved to Georgia and became an E.M.T.
After moving back to Daytona, she worked at several hospitals and becoming a certified medical transcriptionist. After several years she became supervisor of medical records at the old Ormond Hospital.
In 1998, Carole decided to play and have fun, so she enrolled in clown school and graduated in 1999 as Snickerdoodle the Clown. She did it professionally entertaining children with her face painting- glitter and airbrush tattoos. She worked at the Ocean Walk shoppes, Daytona Beach Boardwalk, several restaurants, Prince of Peace Octoberfest and picnics among other venues. It really brought the child in her out.
Carole also worked at Traders Inn Beach Club as a front desk operator. She loved being around the people there. Carole’s hobbies were scrapbooking and card making.
Carole was a member of Prince of Peace Catholic Church, CCW, Eagles Aux., American Association for Medical Transcription, Central Florida Clowns and The World Clown Association.
Carole had a very compassionate heart; she will be greatly missed by those that knew her.
In lieu of flowers kindly donate in her name to her favorite charity, St. Jude Hospital.
A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated 11:00 am, Saturday September 7, 2024 Prince of Peace Catholic Church, Ormond Beach. A celebration of life will follow in the church hall.
