Carol loved her family, treasured dear friends, and enjoyed God's beautiful creation. Her family knew she loved them and that she enjoyed being with them. Carol was an example of strength and compassion to her children and grandchildren. Many who knew her called her friend as she loved gathering with friends on her porch and in her home. She enjoyed her Roxton Ravine Community, her Church family, and the many friends she had made throughout the years. Carol enjoyed gardening, the beauty of flowers and birds, and her pets. She could grow just about anything and shared her love of plants with others. God's nature brought her great joy and pleasure, including the love she had for animals. Carol was very creative and enjoyed baking and cooking for others.
