Caryl Scahill first and foremost loved and honored her country (USA), and served her church and community, and cherished her husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Her life's mission was to share the gospel of our Savior, Jesus Christ and make Heaven crowded. She lived by the example of the following verse: "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit" (Romans 15:13).
