I have fond memories of my warm and loving Aunt. Spending time with her, Doug and Lynette were the highlight of my childhood. My memories of Aunt Carol were those of kindness and love. The only time I saw her unhappy was when a very young Lynette got into grandma's lipstick. (Grandma wasn't happy either!) Aunt Carol will never be forgotten. She will always be in our hearts and minds.
Love Always, Linda Boyce Dorton, David Dorton and Matt, Brad and Stephanie Wood

We are so sorry for your loss. We really enjoyed time spent with you both when we would see you at my parents house. Her smile was contagious and her heart was so kind. I always appreciated her gentle personality. I know she will be missed very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
