I knew Carol, as an acquaintance, I saw her many times at the Garden City mall. We said hello often as we ended up in the same stores. She was a lovely and elegant woman. I remember she had such nice taste. When I saw her picture here, I can't believe she has passed. My greatest sympathies to you her family & friends. She was very kind and will be missed. I don't know if she has any memorial page, but if she does I would love to pay my respects. Heaven has gained an angel. Rest in peace Carol. - Posted by: Dawna & Richard Billings (Acquaintance) on: Aug 15, 2020

My dear mom, and best friend. I will treasure your memory forever. And, thank you for all you have taught me over the last 60 years about compassion, friendship, loyalty and loving others. You were a very generous woman, who loved to give to those in need. Thank you for your selfless acts of kindness, even to strangers. Your legacy will live on in the hearts of those you have helped over 80 years. You are very loved, and will be missed deeply for the rest of my life here on earth. Thank you for loving me, and choosing to stick with me through all life has brought us. I know I'll never regret standing by your side always. Love you forever and a day! - Posted by: Kim Ellison (Daughter) on: Jul 13, 2019
