So sorry to have lost such a wonderful friend. I will always cherish my memories you left behind for me. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. May you rest in peace.
I am saddened by the loss. Carol and I have been friends since the days we were attending My Calvary over 50 years ago. She visited Ft. Lauderdale several times and we had great times. She will be missed. Condolences to all.
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.
My heart is broken. I’ve known you since high school. Have many great memories from you catching the bouquet and my wedding in 73 to the present day beach girls. We have had many good times together. You will always be thought of. Love you 😘
My Dearest Cousin,
I only wish that we had stayed in touch more. So glad that I did get to spend some time with you not too long ago. May you now find peace.
Love you, Terry
Carol was a special person who cared about everybody and would do anything for them. She was fun and crazy and good. I’m going to miss my friend. I loved her very much.

Carol was a great friend time. We met living in the Meadows at Whiteoak and we’re on the board together. We continued our friendship even after we moved across town and then to SC. Thank you Carol for your friendship and for looking after Mom and Dad for me too. A great great friend you were to many and I know you loved your kids and grandkids. Rest In Peace my friend. Love ya.
