Carol Jean “CJ” Rayl

Carol Jean “CJ” Rayl (nee Vandelicht), 60, of Henley, passed away Sept 13, 2017, at her home after a short but courageous battle with cancer. She was born Jan 22, 1957, in Fulton MO, to the late Harold and Lillian Vandelicht.

 

She was a devoted wife and loving, caring mother, who was passionate about her pets, politics, spending time in nature, mushroom hunting, gardening, and listening to rock & roll. She was a very giving person, loved spending time on the front porch with her husband and friends, cherished her grandchildren, and could always make you laugh.

 

She is remembered by her beloved husband Robert Rayl, who were married on Feb 14, 2014; son Charlie Evers (wife Lora, Kansas City); daughter Krystal Harte (Evers, St. Louis); and 4 grandchildren, Gage, Avery, Ryan and Jackson. Survivors also include her siblings, Debi, Jimmy (Lura), and Robert (Kim) Vandelicht, nephew Jonathon, and niece Taylor.

 

She was previously married Apr 16, 2005, to Michael D. Harrison of Henley, until his death on Jul 3, 2012.

 

Friends and family are invited to a celebration of life service to be held Saturday, Sept 30, from 1:00 – 4:00 pm at Spring Valley Baptist Church, 15418 Rte H, Henley MO. Bring your favorite potluck dish and memories to share.

 

Carol will be privately laid to rest at Spring Garden Cemetery in Eugene MO. Memorial contributions can be made to the family of Carol Rayl.

    Carol was my best friend, I love and admired her. There are no words that I can write to express how much I will miss her. I love you carol. Robert took such good care of her. She had so much love surrounding her in her last day.

    I miss you so much, momma. There are so many things I want to share with you, and it’s hard knowing I’ll never see you again. You would have loved my fiancĂ© – he plays guitar – how fun it would’ve been to rock out with you!!

    I can’t believe it’s going on 5 years since you left us… I still remember every minute of that last day/week, and wish you hadn’t suffered for so long. You didn’t deserve that.

    I think about you all the time.
    Wish you were here.
    Lots of love – your daughter. ?
