Kim, Steve and Kevin please accept my sympathy. Loved your mom. Your dad always called her Gracie and I called her spacey Gracie. Great mom to wonderful kids. You guys were blessed with two awesome parents.

Dear Carol you will be missed. We so enjoyed our time together as the "Holy Infant Senior Carols" all 7 of us. And we accomplished the Irish Dancing entertainment without a flaw. We also had a wonderful time with you and Emmett in Ireland. May you and Emmett enjoy everlasting peace with Our Lord.

I met Carol at Holy Infant School. My son, Jake and Carol’s son Kevin started kindergarten together. Kevin and Jake became good buddies and they spent a lot of time together. Carol was always taking them to fun places. She was such a kind, loving person. When my husband died, many years ago, she was one of the first to reach out to me. I’ll never forget her kindness. To Kim, Stephen and Kevin, we are so sorry for your loss. May the loving memories of your mom help you through this. Edna...

Carol was my first friend in St. Louis. I moved here in 1950 as a seventh grader, met Carol and her sister, Pat and Carol and I became very good friends from then on. We went to St. Raphael grade school and on to Bishop DuBourg High together. She was always a sweet girl and a good friend. Marian Perry Engel

I first met Carol on the CRHP weekend that I gave back in 1998 and then we were also members of the Joyful Hope Prayer Group together. I use to pick her up every week for the meeting. I loved her gentle spirit and her warm, welcoming smile. She loved God and her family and she taught me to ALWAYS pray for those who are Care Givers. Treasure all the memories as they will be a great help in the healing process. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. God's...

Carol, you were always so sweet and kind to everyone. Your love and smile for all is really missed. I remember when you helped set up my kitchen when I moved which was really appreciated. Thank you for being you. God bless.

I knew Carol well for many years. We enjoyed good times working with our daughters as leaders in Junior Catholic Daughters! We also enjoyed get togethers with our circle of Carols in the Holy Infant Seniors group. Carol was fun to be around and a good sport when we practiced an Irish dancing routine to entertain the Seniors at their Christmas party. She gave us good memories and will be missed. Our prayers are with her family!
