Carol loved the Lord with all her heart and was a faithful member of Bono Baptist Church. Her unwavering faith was evident throughout her life, especially in her courageous battles against cancer. Not once, but three times, she steadfastly refused to succumb or complain, and embodied a strength that inspired all who knew her. She found joy in the simple pleasures of gardening and the company of her Boston Terrier, Coney. Yet, her greatest joy was spending time with her family, whom she adored beyond measure. She truly was her family’s biggest fan and cheerleader. She was notorious for her sweet tooth and her sillyness. You never knew what she might say! Carol truly brought laughter and light wherever she went.
