    Carol was a beautiful person inside and out. I attended Master Gardener class with Carol. She always had a smile, shared fun experiences and was a great cook. She will be missed by all. Prayers for all.

    Many of us were friends of Carol from Northeast High School. She was kind and adept in so many areas. This message is from her old friends: Bill, Fred, Dean, and Larry. We are all her classmates from 1961. In sorrow, Fred Sweeney
