It broke my heart when Carol died. We worked together in the Evansville fire department chiefs office. This picture is 50 years. Old. Carol is the one on the far right as you probably can tell.

Thanks for your friendship, Carol. You enriched my life. Will see you again, friend...

I was shocked to learn of Carol's passing when I attended the Rememberance Mass 2 days ago for my Dad at Holy Spirit Church. I last saw Carol and Mrs. Raley at my Mom's funeral 13 years ago & Carol looked the very same to me then. She had been a friend since grade school days. Carol was so much fun to be around-her beautiful smile I'll always remember. I even remember her dog, Killer. My heartfelt sympathy to all The Raley Family.

Carol lifted me up at work as we worked lunchtime together at the counter for many years. Her faith and resilience was an inspiration to all who knew her. We love you Carol.

I worked with Carol at the Post Office. Her smile always lit up a room and I know for sure it is doing the same in heaven now. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Carol and I worked together for 30 years.  I remember back to the early 80's when we had a birthday party for her and my husband Steve as their birthdays are on the same day.  We were scared no one would show up and it turned out to be crazy.  We talked about this at the grocery probably 4 months ago and still laughed about it.  She has always been a friend and will be missed.  Darla and Steve Woodall

Carol was such an inspiration to everyone around her! I worked with Carol for many years at the Post Office and will always remember her smile and friendliness! You all will be in our daily prayers and in our thoughts!

Carol always knew how to put a smile on your face. She will be greatly missed. Condolences from the entire Fields family.

Tom & Sandy, so sorry to hear of your loss.  Keeping you and your family in my prayers.  Jan Carter

I worked with Carol for over 30 years at the Post Office. We had lots of talks and laughs. In more recent years I've worked with Joe and knew this was a good family to be friends with. I miss Carol and my heart goes out to Joe and the entire Raley family. May the peace and comfort of a loving God be with you all.

You only needed to meet Carol one time to know she was God's angel on earth. She cared about everyone and was like a sister to my sister, Judy. I thank God he brought her into our lives. I will pray for the Raley family for support & understanding during this sad time.  God Bless you all. Shirley McClanahan - Gainesville,Virginia

My heart felt sympathy goes out to the family.  I worked with Carol at the Post Office.  She was lots of fun.  Always wearing a smile.  I will not be able to make visitation as I have a therapy appointment at the same time.
