Carol’s enthusiasm, joy of life and her love of Jesus Christ were evident to all who knew her. She truly enjoyed spending time with her family and friends and helping others. She was active in her church and several other ministries, including spearheading her local chapter for the National Day of Prayer. As a Navy wife, she appreciated the variety and beauty of God’s creation and relished travel and adventure.
