    I am sadden by the passing of Carol we have been friends from Suitland HS days. Since our 45th class reunion a group of us girls “The Beach Girls” have been very close. Carol was a caring , fun loving lady. Beach girls have a lot of fond memories with her and will cherish them. I am so glad that we had this fun time together.

    I am heartbroken and saddened to lose such a wonderful friend. Carol and I have been friends for 60 years beginning at Mount Calvary School. She will be missed by so many. She always was first to take care of others, always wanting to get everyone together, loved and was so proud of Tim and Dawn, Janiece, and, of course her grandchildren. She embraced all of us and we couldn’t help but love her wit, teasing, fun, and even the straight shooter she was to many of us! Rest in peace Carol..we were blessed to call you our friend. ❤

    What sad news. Carol kept our office spirit high with her caring nature and her fun attitude. She was the first person I would see when entering the judge’s chambers, and she cared deeply that we all did our best work. I appreciated all the help she gave me. Rest in Peace.
