Carol was a friend and confidante to many people. She was adored and loved by many as well. She loved moving back to Florida where she so enjoyed the beach. She could go to the beach seven days a week if possible. The white sands of Northeast Florida was her favorite place. She loved gardening and always getting an early jump on planting new flowering shrubs. A flowering plant she planted 3 years ago refused to bloom, and finally bloomed while she was in the hospital and her husband was able to show her the beautiful flowers before she passed. She was a member of Christ United Methodist Church of Milton and received her baptism and commitment to Jesus Christ in 2018 and so believed in Christ our Lord he lovingly took her to Heaven on the Holiest Day of the Year. Her family will miss her but are knowing she rests in eternal life with our Heavenly Father.
There are no planned services at this time. Several remembrance gatherings are in the works with family and friends to honor her life and legacy. Any memory contributions may be made to Christ United Methodist Church on Dogwood in Milton Florida.
