Carol was a sweet, warm, caring, and fun-loving person who made everyone feel like family. Her home was a comfortable place where people were always welcome. Her relatives often remarked that with her gentle and compassionate nature, she never had a harsh word to say about anyone.Her love of children and pets was a constant throughout her life and she always had a houseful. She never turned away a stray, whether animal or human, and became a mother to all. Carol never gave up on people she loved and believed in and her legacy of love can be witnessed by the many family and friends who mourn her untimely passing. She will be truly missed by all who had the joy to know her.
