I had the pleasure of working with Carol at Coronado in the early to mid 1990's;she was such a nice lady, always with a big smile! If I remember correctly, she got me hooked on Bob Mackie perfume! My deepest condolences to her family.

Carol was a wonderful Student Activities for our daughter, Mary, and became such a good friend and inspiration to us! Her optimistic outlook and constant smile will be so missed. We loved she was a Wildcat too! She is up in heaven shouting "Bear Down"! Tim and Patti Gallegly

I knew Carol at Santa Fe High School and at the U of A. She was my pledge mom in the Gamma Phi Beta house, and I was so thankful for her help and support. Carol was always happy and great fun. Although I hadn't been in touch with her for a number of years, I have many, many fond memories of her.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Carol was a fierce competitor in our local duplicate bridge club many years ago. She gave up the game to have more time for your family and work, but we did so miss her smiling face.
We offer sympathy to her family from the Decker Bridge Center and Unit 159, ACBL

I taught with Carol at Morehead many years ago. I always looked forward to seeing her because she was one of the most happy, loving people I have ever met. That attitude is infectious, and something especially needed in the field of education. May the reminder of the positive impact that she had on students and teachers alike be a source of comfort to her family during this time. She was a blessing to many.

I am so sorry to hear about Carol. We have been friends since being Gamma Phis at the U of A. We kept in touch via Christmas cards and my sisters as they saw her when she was in Tucson. We have been talking about getting together and unfortunately never did. She was a wonderful person and I will miss her very much. My condolences to all her family.

Carol was a very special person. She had such a cheery personality. I always enjoyed being with her in classes at SFHS. She had a very positive attitude and personality. I wish I had lived closer that last few years where I could have had more interaction with. I did enjoy seeing at the 50th class reuion. Carol, you will be a wonderful angel with God.

Mrs. Jones was a true Light in my life. She arrived at CHS when our class of 1991 arrived and she led us through the next three years with grace, love, determination and spunk. I thank her for mentoring me and so many others. Blessings to all who she leaves behind.

Cathy and Jimmy,
I remember the time when she was being evaluated by Mr. George - She was using a large map of Texas when......kaboom! The map ended up covering her head! One of many funny happenings.
