Carl was my buddy. She was always candid and forthcoming. I didn't know she was awarded best teacher of the year by that body in Saginaw. We have something in common...I also received the same award. We have something else in common...she lived to be 78 (I am now 78...and hope to live for many more years). I love Carl!

I would go get her, Tim Jones and I a Halo Burger meal for lunch and we would eat them in her office. She also came to my HS graduation party. Loved that woman. Rest In Peace....

I remember Carl from my childhood days, she and Bernard lived beside my family in Port Gipson, Ms. Carl would come to our house every evening, lay across our bed and watch Perry Mason. I admired her as a child, she had so much spirit and love. So sorry to hear of her passing, my prayers go out to the family. RIP Carl, a job well done here on earth. The Tinner family

From setting up my email address to talking sports to helping me teach keyboarding on computers. Carl was the epitome of a dedicated teacher for kids and helper to other staff. At the start, not so sure, but by the end, so glad she came to Flint.
