I will miss Carole, my first Mayo co-worker who trained me at my job, who gave me advice on my 3 daughters, who became a caring friend as well as an awesome supervisor. I will miss her at our girls luncheons and annual Mayo asthma walk. My deepest sympathy to her lovely family.

Carole's legacy is an inspiration to all who knew her. She had a ready smile, patient attitude, followed details to the letter, was dependable in all that she did.
She loved her family and was very proud of all of them.
