She loved to travel and looked forward to her family vacations every year. She is survived by her husband, Reiichi Iizuka; her children, Jennifer and Patrick Iizuka; her siblings, Eileen McMonagle, Robert Reed, Margaret Warner and Teri Reed; and her nieces and nephews.

Dear Dr. Iizuka and Family,

My sincerest condolences on the passing away of your wife Carol. I shall keep her and all of you in my prayers. Since she was an operating room nurse at Sunrise and Valley Hospital I most have met her way back then, but just can't recall as I quit doing surgery back in 1978. I also miss seeing you at the OR at Shepherd Eye Center when I go there every now and then to watch surgery. I was always impressed with your kindness to your patients.

Sincerely,

Jose

Dear Dr. Iizuka a Family,

I was stunned when I was told of Carol's passing. It seems like yesterday that I ran into her at the mall and she brought me current with what was happening in her life. I always enjoyed Carol when she came by the office with the kids and boy was she proud of them. I loved visiting with her at the office parties and really enjoyed her sense of humor. She was one of the girls.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
