She is preceded in death by her son David, brother Clarence Mierkey and parents Evan and Clara Mierkey.

To the Schreiber family,
My sincerest sympathy on your loss of Carol.
I grew up with Dianne as my best friend all through our school years and also knew Phyllis and Vickie somewhat. Later I did ceramics with Carol . She was a wonderful, caring , hard working lady. I know she will be greatly missed .
May God speed healing to all of you in your time of sorrow.
