Carol loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She always loved the family holidays and get togethers. Carol especially loved camping and boating during her summers at Lake Erie, Port Clinton area for 44 years. She made so many wonderful memories with family and very special friends there. Before that, she would always vacation to Canada with her family and parents. She also loved vacationing to Las Vegas and Florida. Carol worked till she was 75 years old at several jobs. After her husband passed away, she became very independent and kept herself busy. When she quit working, she would still walk to the Rec Center and participate in the Silver Sneakers activities. We would like to give special thanks to Willowood Care Center in Brunswick, for the loving and kind care they gave to her. Also, Harmony Hospice for helping us during the last couple of weeks. Everyone would remark that she always had a smile on her face. She surely was a very happy lady!! She will be extremely missed by us all.
