I only recently discovered that Carol had passed away. I ""googled"" her one day and found this page. Carol was a very special friend of mine, albeit for a very brief time. I met her on a 60 mile ""peace walk"" from Kansas City to Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base in 1989. Over the next year or so we maintained contact until time and tide just separated us. I am very happy to know she found her joy in Estes Park and continue to think of her with the tenderest of thoughts. RIP Carol. Love always.

Carol loved to hike.  This spring, we will remember her pleasure when we see the pasque flowers on the Moose Maze trail in Pinewood Springs. Carol was able to see them last year, and took about 30 pictures of them with her new camera!

Carol and I worked together at Medquist in Kansas City, Missouri. She was always a joy to work with and always had a smile on her face. We had a lot of fun working together. May her soul rest in peace.

Carol and I were friends since we met in 1988 at MedQuist in Missouri.  We were walking, swimming and eating buddies.  She was the best and I will miss her tremendously.  Fly high sweet spirit.

Carol was a great friend and neighbor and I hope she knows how much we came to love her.  We had our best conversations in the street between our homes.  It was in one of these conversations that she told me that she felt like she had ""come home"" when she moved to the mountains.  Her stay here was much too brief.  Carol saw the sign on our front door ""If you are lucky enough to live in the mountains, you are lucky enough"", and it brought tears to her eyes.  She truly believed that she was lucky to be here in the mountains she loved.  We are the lucky ones for knowing Carol and having her in our lives.

I will miss my dear friend, Carol.  I've know Carol since 1994 where we worked in the office together. We took several vacations together to Colorado and some to Arkansas to hike and camp. We always had a great time when we were together.  I will miss her deeply.

I will miss coming up to Estes and will always think of you lookin at the mountains.  They are as beautiful as you were.  You had such a kind heart and put others before you.  I admire your strength and courage.  You are my hero....

Carol has been a friend of mine going way back to our days together working at Planned Parenthood in Kansas City.  We did many things together, and I first brought Carol to Colorado in October, 1992.  (She was too frightened to drive her car --the green Subaru-- into the Mountains and asked me to drive!)  We continued our friendship through my marriage and move to Memphis, TN, Boston, MA and now the Washington DC area. Carol was also supportive of the adoption of our two children from China.  I last saw Carol in mid-October of this year when I visited her in Estes Park.  She seemed so happy -- like a new person!  Her wonderful friends and sense of community brought out many changes in Carol's comfort level with people.  I will forever remember my friend and co-worker.  She's been an integral part of my life since 1989.  And I thank the friends she had in Estes Park for all that they did to make her so happy.

The staff of Rocky Mountain National Park wish to express our sincere condolences on the passing of Carol.  She was a good friend of the park we we understand her love for hiking here.  She recently made a charitable contribution to the park and, as she wished, it will be put toward trail maintenance in cooperation with our non-profit park partner, the Rocky Mountain Nature Association.  We are sorry for your loss.
