Carol Melcher Gomes Obituary
She enjoyed the simple things in life while working various jobs until retirement. She loved rescuing and caring for many dogs and cats over the years. And she also loved shopping around town for good deals and gifts, many times over!
She will be especially missed by her sister, Linda. Her family greatly appreciates her good friend James helping and looking in on her over many years.
Carol is survived by her sister, Linda Melcher Buckmann; her nephew, Rick J. Buckmann; and her niece, Shelbi K. Wiegner.

Carol My Dear Friend......So many good times. She called me Squirt, and I called her Goose. Don't know how that came to be. Toward the end when I would go see her.....She would say, Benida, Benida. I cried. Wish I could tell you some of the things we did and talked about... All in good faith and fun. I will miss her.......

I have such beautiful memories of Carol, a fellow San Luis Obispo High School Class of '63 member. Though we attended different elementary schools, we both were in the same junior high and senior high, thanks to San Luis Obispo having only one of each public school.

Linda, so sorry to hear about Carol. We are in that season of beginning to loose classmates. My memory of Carol is her wonderfully dry sense of humor and sometimes good natured sarcasm. Rest in peace friend.
