Publish in a newspaper
Carol was an voracious reader. She enjoyed mystery, logic problems, Sudoku, and exploring parks or new places.
Carol was always curious to learn new and interesting things about the world and people. She had a flair for creativity and art. You would never see her wearing anything boring, especially shoes. She had a kind heart and loved working with people who had special needs.
She was full of life's stories to share with everyone.
She worked at the Masonic Lodge Nursing Home in Sullivan, IL for many years. She then moved to Colorado where she worked with disabled adults. She spent some time living in Waterman IL, Manitowoc WI and finally Plainfield.
Carol was preceded in death by her mother and father. brother Steve Morgret, sister Mary Johnson and ex-husband Gary Yarnell.
She is survived by her 4 children: son Stewart Yarnell (Joliet, IL), daughter Lynette (Duane) Darnell (Plainfield, IL), son Mark Yarnell (Manitowoc, WI), Renee (Jeff) Hoffmann (Manitowoc, WI) and 11 grandchildren: Jonathan Schuetz (Decatur IL), Alex Yarnell (Perth, Scotland), Megan Yarnell (Glasgow, Scotland), Joshua Yarnell (Joliet, IL), Jacob Yarnell (Joliet IL), Ashley Darnell (Plainfield IL), Evan Darnell (Plainfield), Chancelor (Mary) Hoffmann (South Elgin IL), Hannah. Mary and Lauren Hoffmann (all Chicago IL) and Isaac Hoffmann (Manitowoc, WI) and 4 great-grandchildren: Esther Gritzak, Elijah Gritzak, Zion Hoffmann, and Josiah Hoffmann.
Her grandchildren have all communicated their love for Gramma Carol's infectious laugh, storytelling, creativity and loving them unconditionally.
Carol simply loved God and loved people.
