Carol was known for her love of country music, enjoying shows like Larry's Country Diner and listening to the Daniel O'Donnell Show every Thursday. Her garden and flowers brought her joy, and she found pleasure in working crossword puzzles. Carol's sense of humor and laughter were infectious, and her honesty was a hallmark of her character. You always knew where she stood. Above all, she loved her family dearly.
