I worked with Carol for many years in Neuroradiology at St.Mary’s Hospital.
She was a delight with her radiant smile and great laugh. My prayers are with all the family. She was truly a blessing to all!
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Carol was a very dynamic person who enjoyed life and loved people. I am so sorry for your loss.
My sincere sympathy to all of Carols family. I had the privilege to work with Carol in radiology at the Mayo Clinic for several years. The room was always alive with music escaping from Carols beautiful voice. I fondly remember her taking me under her wing to learn the “ropes” of the job. Always a kind and caring person. You’ve gained your angel wings and we all know you will be singing with the choirs of angels in heaven. ❤️🙏🏻😇
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends.
Carol always had a smile on her face, and a kind word.
She will be greatly missed.
My sincere condolences to her family and her many friends.
I’ve just become aware of Carol’s death this summer and send my warm appreciation for the good person she has been, a friend and musical delight. It sounds like her work life put her in service to many patines over the years and good relationships with work mates too. I’m glad to see her photo as we’ve not connected for many decades; I send my greetings to you gals – Retta, Marla, Laurie, and Joan with such good memories of being part of our church family, word choir (and can still recite Pogo!), Caladeperettes (you who were part of it will know, yellow polka dots and all), General Bullmoose’s secretaries, Easter sunrise events…..your dad who I liked so much and respected s the down to earth man of spirit he was, your mom who kept all the balls in the air for your busy family. Blessings to you all, and blessings to Carol’s spirit on her journey. My bet is she’s part of the celestial choir! debrafant@peak.org in Oregon
