Not sure what to say?





From the moment we met on the first day of 4th grade in 1953, Carol and I became instant best friends. That friendship never wavered and lasted throughout all these years. I feel blessed I was able to see her just weeks before she left us. I will forever remember our hugs, out giggles, our prayers together, our mutual love of Elvis, and especially our love for one another. My heart is breaking but Heaven has gained a very precious Angel. Rest In Peace my beloved friend.....´til we meet again.

The earth lost a beautiful soul when Carol left us. However there is solace in remembering that death ushers us to God's presence. RIP sweet lady.

Carol has been a sweet friend to me since we first met in Junior High. I will always remember the laughter, the tears, and the love of friendship.
I will miss you Carol!

My heart is so saddened by Carol´s passing. My late husband, Ralph, (her fellow Paschalite, class of `63) loved her as did I. Such a precious woman. She will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace, dear Carol. Memory Eternal.

Carol´s death is a huge loss to the Paschal Class of 1963 as she provided so much support to the class get to gathers. I never met a more friendly person in my life.

Carol did more than love you. She showed you what love looks like, feels like and does. One blessing of aging is perspective and truths. Instead of thinking about purpose or legacy or what anyone else thinks, what ends up mattering, above all, is who you love and who loves you.

We will all miss our amazing friend, Carol, who never said no to a request to help find classmates or help plan a Paschal event with friends. She loved everyone and never met a stranger. We will miss her energy and enthusiasm, but mostly we will just miss our very kind, sweet and loyal friend.

She was the most admired person you could have ever met. Her smile and enthusiasm will be in my memories forever. Every compliment you gave her she always attributed it to God not herself. Everything she did for others was claimed as God's work through her. She was an overcomer and encourager and for all we strive for on Earth, and that is having eternal life; is now passed to Carol. I thank her for years of wonderful memories ~
being with our friends, the vacations, fishing trips, church, all the bands, the music and sharing of her dear sweet family whom she loved so much. She is now a memory and her memory is now a treasure. No sadness no sorrow.... Rest in peace Carol you made it home. Now go sing with the angels.
