She is survived by her husband, Charles Beckett, her sons Kai, Mark, and Chris from her previous marriage to Paul Ammen, and her grandchildren Christine, Greg, Mike, their spouses and families.
Born in 1920, to Paul and Georgina Edwards, Carroll was influenced by her father's career as a prominent newspaperman and by Stanford University, providing the foundation of Carroll's principles and critical thinking.

She was a dedicated supporter of organizations promoting peace through communication and understanding, becoming active in The United World Federalists and The Ploughshares Fund.
In 1942 Carroll married Paul Ammen and raised a family. Their extensive travel gave her a rich understanding of the world. After Paul's death in 1981, Carroll devoted herself to writing which she continued throughout her life. In 1987 she married Charles Beckett and shared a life rich with their families and world travel.
Carroll shared what life had to offer with keen observations. Her critical thinking and devotion to peaceful resolutions are the legacies she has passed on to her sons and grandchildren.
