Just found out of Carol’s passing while reading her husband’s obituary. I am very sorry for the loss of both your parents. Carol was my moms first cousin, Louise Swenson Dacri. She seemed like a lovely person every time I meet her. My condolences to the family.

Carol was a beautiful person inside and out. She devoted her life to helping others in her nursing profession. Carol was a sweetheart and always so pleasant and kind to everyone. I was blessed with living across the fence from the Svensons and O'Connors as our backyards aligned.
