Caryl was a beautiful soul who always had a smile to share that would light up the world. She loved to sing, entertain, and paint pictures. She was the kind of woman that to know her was to love her. She was always the life of the party. She loved dressing up, putting in her "funny" teeth and making you laugh. She was also a homemaker, worked at school as a librarian and an in school suspension and media monitor, and most importantly, she was a beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. In her small town of Glouster, OH, she had many friends whom she loved dearly.
