A woman of strong faith who gave strong hugs, her life's work was raising her children, supporting her husband and volunteering.

Carol's specialty was welcoming newcomers, making them feel included, and inviting them to take leadership. Her ever-present smile communicated warmth and welcome. Carol had a playful, adventurous spirit, a good sense of humor, and a gentle, calm way of moving through challenges and difficulties - always anchored in prayer and trust in God. She was a good listener and people found it easy to trust her. Her family and friends will miss her deeply.
