CAROL C. MENDENHALL

From my perspective, Carol lived an artistic life. We traveled together to art conferences; she knew all the choice art shops and current art exhibitions to visit. Her laughter filled the room. Her generous heart was a work of art. I will miss her kind words and vibrant spirit. Her stories were often laced with tales of her dear and much loved family.

Carol was so much more than a coworker to me. She was a dear friend, a mentor, a treasure. If you did not take the time to get to know, that was your loss. In addition to being an instinctively intelligent person, she was witty and quick. Her passions for teaching, her art, her drive to continue learning, and her love for her family combined to make Carol, Carol. Those of us who knew her will greatly miss her.

I always loved her as a Teacher! God bless her!

Mrs. Mendenhall was the first of my teachers that I can remember taking a positive interest in me. As an elementary school student she taught me to draw a rose. I probably drew that rose a thousand times. I still draw my roses that way when I doodle. She continued to be a part of my life into high school, where she helped me explore art and earn some minor accolade. The best part of it was how proud she was of me and how proud she made me feel. I am no great artist, and yet, she always made...

I loved Carol's frankness about life. She always spoke her mind to me. I have the best memories of her. Praying for Peace.

Carol was a wonderful teacher and friend. Lucky are those whose lives intersected with hers. Rest in peace, Carol.

I so admired your mom, she was a classy lady. I knew her for eighteen years while we taught school at Pfeiffer and Perry High Schools. She will be missed by so many. I am so sorry for your loss.
