I first met Carol through mutual quilting friends. Our paths intertwined through the DAC, our love of cycling and similar political and humanitarian tendencies. She was such a vibrant spirit with compassion and joy of life. I will miss her greatly.

I remember Carol as a very good friend at the DAC. She was always so friendly and had a compliment for me. I will miss her greatly.

Carol and I started at the White House together about a week apart -- having been recruited by the same source -- an important family friend/ mentor of mine -- and we began in the West Wing in 1979! We were so young, and worked for the press office (starting with President Carter, and then on to President Reagan) and got to travel to so many places together with a handful of other stenographers (stenos, as they referred to us), and the press corps -- typing our way across the world for the President. It was an amazing job for such young people! Amazing memories. I loved Carol and last saw her several years ago at the funeral of another fellow steno -- time goes by so fast, yet God is good, and the best is yet to come! I will miss her and wish I had gotten to speak with her more recently. Sending blessings of love, peace and encouragement to her loved ones.

Carol was a cherished friend for years at the Tate condo building in Eugene. Our group became especially close during the Covid years, meeting daily as the BLOTS (Bag Ladies of the Tate) sitting six feet apart in the garage. Carol was a ringleader with tales of both triumph and woe.
Her humor was welcome; her politics, spot on; her adventures, found in novels. Her laugh!
She will be missed. Peace.

Carol and I were friends from the late 1960s, meeting at Watson Library at KU. I treasure the great times we had. Not only here in Lawrence but also when I visited her in DC and she took me into the White House. I was able to visit her twice in Idaho Falls. The second time we went on a several days girl´s road trip and took in Glacier National Park and Montana. Will miss her.

To William Lew Powell, Curtis and others, I extend my sincere condolences to you over Carol's passing. Meeting at a job at the KU library in the summer of 1971, we became pals. After she moved away, we invariably, serendipitously encountered one another, each time she came back to Lawrence for visits. She took me on a memorable tour of the White House, when she worked there. We would also swap stories about KU Endowment; her father´s service there well known, before I went to work later for that organization. Carol was one of my very favorite humans in all the world.

Carol was an acquaintance whose opinion I valued, particularly involving politics.
