Carson Elizabeth Stanley, the girl who could light up a room with her smile and laughter, passed away on Thursday, August 26, 2021 at the age of 28. She was born on December 11, 1992 in Montgomery, AL and was a graduate of Gallia Academy High School, Class of 2011. She is preceded in death by her grandfathers Don W. Swisher and Bobby J. Stanley

Remaining on earth to grieve her loss is her biggest female fan club in life; her mother Carey Stanley, her grandmother Avalee Swisher, and her aunt Mikka Stanley Yonker. Also left behind is her father Chris Stanley, her brother Griffin Stanley, her uncle Joseph Yonker, and her cousins Alec Stanley, Owen Yonker and Ava Yonker, as well as many extended family members. Carson also leaves behind three very special lifelong friends; Richard Hurt II, Kaylee Well McGuire and Mariah Garrett Grant. She also had countless other wonderful friends who are mourning her loss.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the non-profit organization, Friends of Gallia County's Animals in Carson's name. Her love of animals was a part of her existence all of her life and she would be proud to have her name attached to a contribution that would help save some four-legged lives.

Finally, to all who knew this beautiful girl, please remember who she was at the core of her soul. She commanded a room as she entered and her tenacious personality was never one to be questioned. Carson was a vivacious free spirit and had an enormous compassion for others and for life. She will be missed emphatically by all who adored her.

In accordance with the family's wishes, there will be no public services.  You may offer condolences to the family via this webpage.
