Carol loved to read, was a gifted piano player and had a beautiful voice. She sang and played the piano in her parents’ church. When she got older, she was very involved in her high school choir. She laughed and smiled a lot, was great at giving advice, but rarely followed it herself.
As an adult she helped her parents run their ministry and was always very close to her mom and dad.
She loved to make afghans. She made them for all of her kids and grandkids. Usually before the babies were born, mom had a beautiful afghan waiting for them. Some of the pets even received them as gifts.
