I had the pleasure of getting to know Carol from working at E M C Ins. Carol was a very sweet woman with strong convictions. She always spoke her mind and always to the point. She will be missed. I still have to this day the things she gave me. Carol, I'm glad I had a chance to know you. May God bless your family and friends.

Carol was my sister-in-law but we always said we were really sisters. She was also my friend. We shared many happy and heartfelt memories. I was so glad that she was able to make it to North Carolina in September to go with me the Luke Bryan concert, we had the best time.
The attached picture is of her holding her Luke 'badge'. Thanks for the memory Carol. We miss and love you.

Carol was always a bright smiling face in grade school. Many of us went to Weston School and then on through high school together. I think of them often. May she rest in peace!! God Bless!!

Carol was my dearest friend for the last 49 yrs.
We laughed together, cried together and had the best of times together. I was privileged to be with Carol as she left this physical world, and I know she will be with me in spirit for ever. Goodbye my dear friend, job well done.
