    Carol was a very special lady. She was one of the very first people to befriend me at Palmer Moravian Church. We shared many special times together including serving as a team on the sacristan corp. I will miss her and send my condolences.

    It was my great luck to be able to work with a group of kind, caring and amusing people, of which Carol was a part of. When she retired, she was greatly missed. My sympathy to her family.

    Deepest sympathy to all of Carol’s family. What a delightful, hard-working and dedicated woman. We were friends from Palmer Moravian Church, and for quite a few years she and I did a Meals on Wheels route together. Many memories of lugging bags of food for those in the high-rise apartments downtown. Our condolences for your loss.

    I just learned today, 2/17/21 of Carol’s passing. We got to know each other through her sister in law, Elnora, whom Carol gave great care for years. Very heartfelt condolences to all, especially Christopher, who was the apple of Aunt Elnora’s eye. I so enjoyed getting to know Carol, a wonderful person.
