Words from a loving Husband: Carol was a gentle, kind woman with a soft personality whom all the neighborhood kids loved. Our home was a safe and trusted home where the kids came on their way to school and hung out at after school. Carol was always there for the kids, whether it was teaching CCD, helping with school activities and PTA, or being a Den Mother for the Boy Scouts. It was a home where anyone at anytime could stop in and get a great meal and lots of love! Everyone was always welcomed. Carol was a loving wife, mom, grandma and great-grandma. She loved reading, cooking, camping, sitting on the beach, and going up to the The Lake, but more than anything, she loved her family. She loved family parties when all her kids, grandkids, sisters and nieces and nephews came together. Even during her long battle with Alzheimer’s, she never lost her smile, her love or her happiness when her family was around. Carol was loved by all and will truly be missed. Although she is no longer with us physically, she will always be with us in our hearts.
