So sorry to learn about Carol. I was at Central High School in her class. I also was in Les Passees with her. Carol was such a wonderful and I truly enjoyed knowing her. She was a delight.

Carol was a great friend at Central High and we maintained that friendship throughout her life. She had the most infectious laugh and great sense of humor. Sweet personality always.

The prettiest and most gracious girl ever to go to Central High.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
