In Carol's world, friends became family and these lasting adoptions used up all the time in her day. Her parents, children, and siblings were her fondest possessions.

Her kind heart and beautiful smile will be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to share a moment with her.
Knitting, cooking and spending time with her family were her favorite things to do."
