This is how we will remember Carol. A beautiful woman with love for all she met. We spent many a time at her kitchen table talking, laughing, and eating. Our lives were blessed with her friendship and we will miss her so much. We rejoice knowing she is in Heaven with Buzz. And when we all get to Heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be. Much love to all her family. Love Ben and Bev. ♥️♥️

Oh Carol! Such a great caring person! I worked with Carol for a long time at Ellwood City Hospital Home Health. I am so sorry to hear that she is gone. She was sweet and funny and a great coworker. She took wonderful care of patients and brightened their days. I am so lucky to have known her and worked with her. I have missed her over the years. My thoughts are with you, her family in the loss of such a beautiful lady. God bless.

I met Carol through her companion, Douglas. Her energy, boundless, her laughter, contagious. My life has been enriched through simply observing her. May you all find peace.
