Carroll Barte (Kincaid) Twiss passed away peacefully on May 7, 2015, at the Golden Spirit Adult Family Home. Carroll was born September 6, 1942, to Hugh Arthur and Emma Lou (Kittle) Kincaid in Huntington, West Virginia. She attended the Marshall University Experimental School and graduated from Huntington High School. Carroll earned a B.S. Degree in Political Science from the University of Kansas in 1964. While at K.U. she met and married Charlie Twiss, her husband of 51 years. In 1974 the family moved to Woodinville, Washington. Carroll worked for the Woodinville Weekly for many years. A talented artist, Carroll returned to school and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Washington in 1979. She was active in the Seattle art community through the early 1980s when she returned to her first love of politics. Carroll was a member of the King County Democrats and the Washington State Women’s Political Caucus. She served as the chair for the 45th District Democrats for many years. If you lived in the Woodinvile area she probably knocked on your door introducing a candidate or initiative. She remained active in Seattle and Washington State politics until she became ill. Carroll enjoyed cooking and there are many fond memories of holiday meals shared with family and friends.
Carroll is survived by husband Charlie Twiss of Woodinville, Washington; daughter Catherine (Greg) Zimmerman of Sandy, Utah; daughter Cynthia Twiss of Lynnwood, Washington; daughter Charlotte Twiss of Lynnwood, Washington; brother Charles Kincaid of Portland, Oregon; brother Jefferson Kincaid of Portland, Oregon; and 6 grandchildren.
The family would like to thank Gabby, Rob and Nick for the loving care they provided for Carroll the past five years.
No services are planned at Carroll’s request.
