Carol Hollis Stringfellow

Although I have lots of fond memories of spending time with our Stringfellow cousins as kids including camping out in the backyard in a tent, playing Atari games, amusement park rides, etc., I got to know Aunt Carol well when I attended BYU back in the 90's before and after a mission to Brazil. She was always very inviting to stay with her family over weekends and holidays especially Thanksgiving. The whole family enjoyed many meals together including Grandpa Elby and Uncle Tom. She made a...

My relationship with my dear sister-in-law goes back 55 years when I spotted a girl in the halls of East High School with the same charm, beauty (Oh those delicious lips) and grace as the girl who was stirring my secret passions while I sat next her in Biology class, her sister Connie. Over the years she has been nothing but kind and supportive.

Carol is my cousin. Most of our young lives were spent together. Nearly every Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and Forth of July we saw each other. The barbecues, fireworks, huge family dinners are things I will always remember. Our mothers quite often dressed all five of the daughters alike. Carol was always sweet and kind to all of us! I will never forget her.

Believe it or not, I also remember that first visit. And I remember how happy Aunt Carol and Uncle Burt were. He had waited years to meet the right woman, and Aunt Carol was that person.

She was real. I love you Aunt Carol. You will be missed. I enjoyed our phone conversations-especially after...

I remember the first time I met Aunt Carol - the many times Uncle Burt would come and get Stan, Susie, Warren and myself and take us to the movies or swimming - then one day there was a beautiful lady sitting in the front seat of the car!!! We didn't see Uncle Burt as much after that, but we didn't mind sharing him, and have always loved Aunt Carol so much. I'm happy they are together again.
Love you all - Rachel
