She served as the event coordinator for Oklahoma Children's Cancer Association for nearly 20 years, bringing holiday celebrations to children and families undergoing treatment. She will be remembered by family and friends for her ability to see the good in all people, her endless patience and her unconditional love.Carol is preceded in death by her parents. Carol is survived by her husband Mehdi; sons Jian and Bijan; and daughter Ariana. The family would like to thank Dr. Tom Merrill for his dedication and extraordinary services he provided during this time.

Knowing Carol Ann was a delight during our years in Danbury, CT growing up in the 60's and 70's. I especially remember dancing the "Chinese" with her in the Nutcracker and the way she looked like a doll come to life, so precious and dear. She had a certain energy that drew everyone to her, as if they would benefit from being close. I knew this about her even as a child and I'm sure it held true throughout her life. It was Carol Ann's essence, pure and infectious, a pert smile and a delicate grace. God Bless you, sweetheart, and all your loved ones everywhere.
Always, K. (formerly Karen) Machcinski

Mehdi and family - I came across this very sad notice today. Although I've not seen you for many years (33!) I recall fondly how gracious and hospitable Carol was towards me when I visited your lovely home. Please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss.

Carol Ann, I will never forget our adventures together dancing for the Dorthy Burdette Dance Studio. We shared so much during those years of dancing and at Sacred Heart School and Immaculate High. I have been honored to be your friend these so many years. I have never known anyone sweeter than you. I wish these words could reach you, but at least your family will know that many people enjoyed the privilege of your friendship and love and treasured you as a person.
