Carol was a loving and supportive wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She loved her sister's Pat and Sandra and her brother Wayne. She approached life with a big heart and compassion for those around her. This is obvious upon meeting her family as one naturally sees her love reflected in them.
Her passion for animals was a testament of her loving heart; she gave freely when it came to donating to animal shelters. As she hated to see any animal suffer. Carol believed all animals deserved a good and loving home.
Her family will miss her hearing her sing I Fall to Pieces by Patsy Clien, her sense of humor and infectious laugh. Mostly we will miss the way her eyes lit up when she smiled making us feel loved!
