November 23, 2017

Our paths crossed in 2005 and lives were changed forever . Miss Carol cared for our young family once a week in the beginning, boys baptisms, 3 first communions, visits, and long distance phone calls . She was an amazing friend and part of our family. We treasure all those moments. In our hearts forever.
Beverly, Cyrus, Paris, Noah, & Miles Corneille

With Love and Condolences to Christa (Doug), Tim (Lisa, Isaac, and Reece), Kevin, her sisters, and brothers

As we go through life there are friends who leave indelible memories. The one that was most prominent in my memory of you was your tenaciousness. Keep going little bulldog.

Sometimes life sure sucks! You will be missed so much but will always be a bright light to those you have touched with your kindness, patience, and caring ways. We should ask ourselves "Now, what would Carol say or do?" What a great way to be remembered! Love you, Meri

Carol was an extraordinary person; always "there" for you with her compassionate heart. I will always remember her laughter, strength of self, and uniqueness that was "Carol". I will miss the "sunshine" of her face, but will always hold her in my heart.

I worked alongside Carol for several years at CASA as her supervisor and we had a lot of good laughs and even a few tearful moments. Among my favorite memories is of her telling the story of how she accidentally referred to me as "her Jon" to one of her friends when attempting to explain who this guy was she'd been spending so much time on the phone with :) She had a heart of gold and a smile for days. I truly enjoyed our times together. I hope hearing good stories and thoughts of her bring her family peace during these times. She bragged often about Kevin, Tim, Christa and Isaac (I think he may have been the only grandchild at the time we worked together) and boy did she loved her times with Isaac! My deepest sympathies to you all.

Carol had an incredible sense of humor. You always had a great time when you were with her. Who else would give Bill and me a sign that read ,"What happens in the garage STAYS in the garage!" She was one of a kind.
