Carolyn Faye Remines, 75, of Wellington, died Monday, July 3, 2017 at home. Born on March 8, 1942 in Tazwell, VA, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Rebecca (nee Mabe) Gilley. Carol moved to the Wellington area as a teenager and spent her adult life there. Carol worked at the trackside diner for many years. She played softball with the Wellington Women's League and enjoyed Bingo. Carol enjoyed being outside whether it was tending to her rosebushes or riding her bike around.
