Carol was a selfless person. Always thinking of her kids, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Never would do anything for herself. She was a dedicated mom/grandma/great grandma. Her nick name was “Kissy Mama”. Everyone thought she was funny! She always had a smile on her face. She loved to wear sunglasses so you could not see her starring at you! Her laugh was contagious. Carol never missed the opportunity to tell her kids & grandkids that she loved them. When it came to sports she was a HUGE Pittsburgh Steelers fan! We knew she had a big project for us to do when she made her famous “Lasagna”. She loved to sit down with us kids and watch scary movies with popcorn.
