Caroline was the best of friends with Jane Prusick (passed on 01APR07). They were high school pals. Caroline knew how to pick up Jane's spirits - especially when Jane's daughter, Linda was very ill. She had everyone smiling at the Bethesda Naval Hospital. They also shared their Ma Bell work experiences. Later in life, Jane and Caroline would call each other regularly when it was difficult for them to travel. Caroline will be sorely missed.
