      Helen Carol Anderson

      September 29, 2026

      On September 29, 2026, Helen Carol Anderson, 75, of Buxton, left her earthly body and joined her beloved husband Dickie in eternal love. Carol will be forever loved by her beautiful daughters, Robin and Rosia; her wonderful son-in-law, Aron; her one and only Elle Mae; and her sweet sweet Evie Fae.

      Carol touched many lives and loved deeply and to the fullest. She would be the first to stand up for you, the first one to applaud you, and the one who would never give up on you even if it seemed the rest of the world had. She devoted her life to her family, where she brought so much love and magic to their worlds. She was so incredibly proud of her grand babies and was the best Gigi one could ask for. Her fierce love of mother earth and nature led her to form and spearhead, with the help of many others, Friends of Hatteras Island. They went on to save the Buxton Woods, and she was personally awarded the Eure Gardner award for Friends of Hatteras Island. She was proud of her island and her heritage, proud to be the daughter of Hugh Williams, and proud to have lived her life and raised her children in the Williams Family Home in Buxton.

      In her heart of hearts, she was a humanitarian, activist, environmental steward, a force to be reckoned with, and above all else, pure love, light, and joy. She was so much more than one can sum up in a few short paragraphs, and she will be greatly missed.

      Carol was born on October 10th, so please join us for one last birthday celebration on Saturday, October 10, 2026 at 2:00pm at the Lighthouse Assembly of God Church, 48060 NC 12, Buxton, NC, 27920. Following the celebration, join us after for Carol's favorite, birthday cake, and more, at the Anderson’s house. Please share a message of support and comfort the family at gallopfuneralservices.com. Gallop Funeral Services was entrusted with arrangements.

        OUR HISTORY

        The Nags Head Chapel and Company Headquarters

        Nags Head Chapel

        Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. was founded in Nags Head, NC in 2006 by licensed North Carolina Funeral Director Courtney N. Gallop. This independent, minority and woman-owned start-up funeral home challenged the existing monopoly firm which had sole control of all funeral care, goods, and services provided in Manteo, the Outer Banks, and Currituck County for nearly 100 years.

        Finally - someone brought competition into the local funeral industry. As a direct result of Gallop Funeral Services, Inc., local families now have choices, options, alternatives, fairer pricing, flexibility, and a higher level of service in funeral care for their loved ones.

        The Barco Memorial Chapel - Currituck

        Barco Chapel

        In 2016, Gallop Memorial Chapel was opened in Barco, NC. The spacious, newly remodeled facility is the first and only funeral service-related business ever to locate in Currituck County. The Barco Gallop Memorial Chapel is conveniently located near the Outer Banks, Moyock and Elizabeth City. The elegant yet relaxing chapel interior is welcoming and comfortable for viewings, family gatherings, funerals, and memorial services. Our Barco chapel is perfectly equipped to serve all faiths and families in the county.

        Courtney Gallop and the staff at Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. are committed to excellence. We continue to improve, grow, invest, and learn in order to provide the highest level of service for all families entrusted to our care.

        Capital Crematory

        Capital Crematory

        In 2011, we built and established Capital Crematory, the first and only crematory ever in Dare County. The crematory supports Gallop Funeral Services and also provides professional cremation services for other funeral homes in the Albemarle area. Having our own local crematory means your loved one's cremation will be handled personally by owners of the funeral home, 100% locally, quickly, and at the best pricing.
