Carol Ann Stockton

The world's biggest Astros fan, Carol Ann Stockton, 85, of Angleton, TX passed into the arms of her Heavenly Father on July 20, 2021. Carol was born in Houston, Tx to Donna Lee Radney & Ralph Oscar Englehardt and attended Jacksonville (Texas) High School where she was a member of the National Honor Society and Future Homemakers of America. After high school, Carol's love of learning led her to Houston, TX where she worked for Humble Oil. Richard W. Stockton, Sr. proposed to Carol Englehardt and they were married on May 14, 1955 in Houston, TX. Carol and Richard have three children: Richard W. Stockton, Jr., Lisa Ann Neasbitt, and James Paul Stockton. In 1965, Richard and Carol moved their home to Angleton and went on to support many community service organizations including the Cub & Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Methodist Youth Fellowship, Angleton Band Boosters, and Angleton Food Pantry. Carol lived a life of service to the community of Angleton by working in and with many area churches including the First Presbyterian Church as secretary and the First United Methodist Church as Director of Christian Education. Carol Stockton was the bookkeeper for ActionS of Brazoria County, a Cub Scout Den Mother for cub packs at Westside Elementary, and the secretary for Jack Simmons, AISD Superintendent. Carol spent her free time as a screener at the local food pantry, watching sports, fishing with her family, setting up volleyball tournaments for the Methodist Youth Fellowship, and selling her quilts and handmade clothes at craft shows. When Carol was not fishing, she was filling up with her love of the Astros. Her love of each individual player was unmatched; she could tell you every player's statistics from the Colt 45s to the current players, their previous years of play, the college attended, and family details. She loved attending games in the Astrodome and at Minute Maid Park. Carol was preceded in death by her grandmother Iva Way Stephens, her parents Donna Lee Radney & Ralph Oscar Englehardt, her brother Robert Englehardt, and her sister Judith Welch.
