    Will miss her dearly. There seems to be an emptiness in the world today. There is some comfort in knowing she is with Clark, Kelly and Mitch. Rest in peace Sis.

    I have known Carol for many years, I’m sure going to miss my Royals and Chiefs Buddy. Her daughter Kelly babysat Matt at Mickeyland at Lake of the ozark, her husband Clark was Deputy Sheriff and took care of us when our son in law died in 1983. What a great family I will always remember this great family. RIP my friend🙏❤️

    Carol was a real pleasure to be around. She was always willing to help or give guidance when asked at work. She always had a smile on her face and will be missed by many.

    I am so saddened to hear of Carol’s passing. We were classmates at Ward Hugh, good friends thereafter. I was in her wedding & worked for another law firm on Minnesota Ave. We always met for lunch while working as legal secretaries. Just recently got together with a few of our high school friends, which was so nice. My deepest condolences to you Kim. Thank you for letting me know. Your mom was a wonderful & caring friend. I will miss her. May she rest in peace.
