Carol’s only passion in life was her family, to which she unselfishly devoted herself. She was kind, gentle, generous and yet had a quiet strength and resilience. She richly blessed her family with her constant source of love and support. She enjoyed sharing time and traveling with her children most of all. With her circle of friends, she enjoyed traveling, playing tennis, bridge and most recently mahjong.
