Carole Zwick Mandel

Carole Zwick Mandel passed away on September 14th, 2024. Carole was born on April 25th, 1944 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Ben and Pearl Zwick. She grew up in Knoxville, attending Bearden High School and the University Of Tennessee. She was an avid Vols fan from a very early age and often attended games. She spent most of her adult life in both Columbia, SC and Knoxville, TN. In recent years, she also spent time in Nashville, TN. She was a current member of Heska Amuna Synagogue and past member of Beth Shalom Synagogue and West End Synagogue. She was a member of Hadassah and Sisterhood. Carole was a poet and professional writer who touched many lives with her works. She played numerous roles over the years, including being a long time Hebrew school teacher, a secretary in a doctor’s office, various retail jobs, and even ushered at Thompson Boling Arena when it first opened. However, her most significant roles were being a mother to Brett and Todd and the proud owner of Green Acres Flea Market. She continued the family legacy well and took the market to the next level with her dedication and loyalty. Her family always remained her top priority, and she sacrificed, protected, helped, and gave to them at the highest level. Carole took pride in giving regularly to her community, to individuals, and to charities, often anonymously. This includes donating the Zwick Fitness Center to the Thompson Cancer Center and donations to the Arnstein Jewish Community Center, Heska Amuna Synagogue, St Jude Children’s Hospital, and Shriners Children’s Hospital. Carole was always the first to put out her hand to help others and the last to give up on someone. She did not know a stranger and was happy to help anyone in need. Carole left her mark on every room with her generous heart, her million dollar smile, and witty personality. Carole was preceded in death by her father, Benjamin Zwick and her mother, Pearl Zwick. She is survived by her sons, Brett and Todd. A funeral service will be held on Thursday at 2pm at Rose Funeral & Cremation - Mann, 6200 Kingston Pike, with the interment to follow at New Jewish Cemetery.
