Carol was one of the most generous and kind people Ive ever encountered. She was a true disciple of Jesus Christ, and it showed. Until we meet at Jesus feet, God be with you!

Carol was such a kind woman. She was one of the first women (she and her friends Marge Sowby & Carol Barker) to welcome me in our little ward.
I am sorry for your loss. We have missed her since she was placed in the care center.
She will be remembered fondly.
