Carol Ann Raid Marcoe, age 84, passed away peacefully on August 2, 2025, at her home along the Howell Prairie, between Salem and Silverton. She was surrounded and comforted by her immediate family.

She was born April 23,1941, the middle daughter of Charles and Corinne Raid, in Portland, Oregon. Charlie and Corinne were parents of four children: Gary, Charlene, Carol Ann, and Nancy. The family moved from Portland to a farm three miles east of Mount Angel in 1942.

Carol Ann attended elementary schools in the rural district known as Monitor and graduated from Silverton Union High School in 1959.

During her high school years, Carol Ann met and dated Herbert Arnold Marcoe (Arnie) of Silverton. The couple married on August 20, 1960, at the Trinity Lutheran Church near the Raid farm.

Their first child, Jeffery, was born in May 1961. They moved into a modest house in northeast Salem. Carol Ann became a full-time homemaker, and, in May 1964, the couple welcomed daughter Kimberly into the family.

In 1971, Arnie and Carol Ann purchased a five-acre parcel in the rural Central Howell district west of Silverton. There they built their dream home. Carol Ann soon went to work at the State Farm regional office in Salem until her retirement at the age of 59.

Carol Ann was known for her sweet spirit and smile, her love of the outdoors (walks, salmon fishing, kayaking, & RV traveling), and dedication to her family. She especially loved dogs, line dancing, and reading.

Arnie and Carol Ann were faithful and active members of Redeemer Lutheran Church (4663 Lancaster Drive NE) in Salem for more than 60 years. A celebration of Carol Ann's life will be held at Redeemer on Saturday, October 18, at 11:00 a.m.

Carol Ann was preceded in death by her parents and her beloved sister Charlene. She is survived by her husband Arnie, son Jeff, daughter Kim, brother Gary Raid, sister Nancy Ohren, and sister-in-law Jody Debacon, along with a multitude of Raid and Marcoe cousins, nieces, and nephews.

The family expresses its appreciation to Serenity Hospice and Willamette Valley Caregivers for their loving support of Carol Ann during her final months.
