In 1984 Carol, along with her cherished daughter, Kim started and operated a flatbed freight trucking company, C&K Transportation, which succeeds to this day. When she wasn’t running the company, she loved to garden, particularly roses, and liked to spend time with her family.

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to Martha Dearrigon of San Bernardino for her loving care, support and Community Hospital Hospice Care for their care and guidance in her final days.
