Carol was an amazing cook, producing delicious meals from simple things she had on hand for her family and friends, there was always room for one more at her table. She also catered large gatherings.
Carol’s friendly personality drew people to her. Carol’s smile was infectious, to her there were no strangers, only friends she hadn’t yet met. She enjoyed traveling, meeting new people and discovering new places yet Mom was never happier than when she was spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
