Carol was a kind and generous person. I remember when she made me a boiled ham dinner when I turned fifty. She was my mom, Genevieve Smith’s, best friend. We spent many wonderful hours playing Mexican train. She loved my mom with a genuine heart. She attended church with my mom and did a lot of the cooking for her. My mom passed in 2017; now they will be reunited in heaven. My deepest condolences to her entire family. We will be praying for all of her family and friends during this difficult time. We will miss you, Carol.
