The sisters together with their father were hired by radio station WDZ in Tescola, performing as The Crow Family. They later moved to Indianapolis, where they continued to perform live shows. The sisters added dancing to their act performing as The Crow Sisters.

Carol Gertrude (Barks) Lincoln, Age 63, of Marble Hill, MO, passed away peacefully Saturday, April 16th 2022, at her home, surrounded by her family. She was born April 9th 1959, to John "Lowell" and Oma Laverne (Gattis Simmons) Barks in Kennett, MO. For the past 46 years Carol was a loving wife to her husband, Timothy Dwight "Tim" Lincoln, and together they had two daughters, Angela Marie and Jessica Gwen.

Carol gave her life to Jesus Christ and was baptized in His Name at the age of 18. She faithfully attended Westside Church of Christ in Jackson, MO. She embraced God's Word and enjoyed studying Bible prophecy.

Throughout her life she worked at Thorngate in Cape, cleaned houses in the Jackson area, and managed her husband's business, Timber-Link Construction. However, her favorite job was being a Homemaker. She created a beautiful home for her family. She was a devoted mother to her daughters, and a dedicated wife, a true "helpmeet", to her husband Tim. Carol enjoyed her grandchildren and attended many of their sporting events.

From pencil sketches to embroidery, to catchy phrases, scrapbooking, and handmade cards, Carol was always blessing others with her artistic abilities. She was an excellent cook and was known for her chicken and dumplings, baked beans, and cherry breeze pie. She hosted large gatherings and was an inspiration to many outside her immediate family including nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends. She will be truly missed.
