Carol was born July 5, 1939, in East Orange, New Jersey, daughter of the late Franz Mueller and Blanche Kurzinsky Mueller. She was a member of Beach Assembly of God Church for many years. Everyone who knew Carol knew she had an infectious, distinctive laugh that could radiate a room. She had a fabulous sense of humor that her friends dearly loved.

They enjoyed every minute together and were affectionately known as “Bob and Carol.” Preceding her in death was her husband Bob and sister, Eugenia “Genie” Gargiulo.
Survivors include her daughter Patty Gilmore and husband Billy of Calabash; brother, Robert Mueller and wife Bonnie of Wharton, New Jersey; three grandchildren, Michelle Close, Carolyn Shea and husband Timothy and Grace Close; two great grandchildren, Emerson Shea and Declan Shea; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
