I have many fond memories of Carol as we grew up together in the same neighborhood. She was always so much fun and friendly whenever I saw her again. I just learned of her passing yesterday and regret we were not able to come to the service to pay our respects due to learning so late. Our condolences to her family. She will be greatly missed. Love, Annette (Coulam) and Joe Bingham

Glancing through the obituary section of the paper I stopped at Carol's picture because she reminded me of someone and sure enough Carol has a sister Beth Bush. Its been a long time Beth but I still have sweet BYU memories. So sorry about your sister! Hope you are doing well in spite of hard things. You are good.
Love, Lawrin Standing

May God ease your pain and take your heart in his hands and bless you with comfort and love. The last time I seen you mom, were talking and she kindly told me I took for ever making up my mind at cards when my sister and I would stay over when we were in school...I loved that time with her, Wendy, Angie and my sister-Nae.

I remember Carol as always being the best neighbor for over 40 years. Sitting on her porch, expounding on the human condition with her raspy laugh and a stiff drink. In her golden years, Jesus led her around and she followed, but still maintained her wit and concern for others. She was a big part of our daily lives growing up, and we love and miss her.

We will miss her laugh, her friendliness, her quick wit. She made everyone feel that she was their friend, and she was! She was a great friend and we will miss her!
Love,
Raymond and Gyorge Ann Yawn

Dear Mary Lou, Beth, Marjorie, Tom, Bill, Angie, Wendy, McKayla, Pinky, and all the other family members and many friends who grieve Carol's passing,
We are so sad about our loss. Even though we are happy for her that she is free of pain, we will miss her. I was fortunate to grow up with her, and to stay in touch with her for her lifetime. Carol had the gift of loving people. She could always find a way to see the funny side of situations, to smile, to be enthusiastic no matter what challenge she faced.
We send our love and condolences to all of you who, like us, will miss her very much.

I am so sorry for our loss. Carol could always see the funny side, could always lift the spirits, no matter what challenges she faced. I was blessed to grow up with her and to feel close to her all of my life. We both loved her. We are happy that she will have no more pain, although we will feel the pain of missing her very much.
With love to all her family and friends,
