She brought joy into the lives her family and was always there to help out in any grandmotherly way possible. Being a Grandma was her most honored occupation and she held a very special place in the hearts of her Grandsons. They loved helping and assisting grandma as much as she loved having them around.

She was also an irreplaceable source of support and assistance to her daughter in the raising of the 3 boys.

Carol was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but also participated in a small church group for the residents of Eagles Manor where she lived. She loved the Lord and enjoyed serving him through all her church activities.

She will be deeply missed by her family here on earth. We are comforted by knowing she is not far away and we will someday be reunited with her. Until that day, she is loved, missed and her loss will be felt each and every day.
