Carol graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1962 and was a member of the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority. She retired from USAA in 1999 after 24 years in policy service. She loved music, dancing, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. Her smile and laughter will truly be missed. Carol was so much to so many people. She was a friend to everyone and never met a stranger as she could talk to anyone just standing in line. She cared a lot about people in general and always wanted to find a way to lend a hand. Carol was a caregiver to her parents and her husband and just had a heart to serve others. As a USAA retiree she found herself being plugged into the retiree functions and always enjoyed being a part of that group for many years. She loved being around her USAA colleagues and looked forward to the gatherings for lunch throughout the year. Carol was a great cook and loved being at all the family gatherings. She had a knack for cooking great meals and better yet great desserts. Who doesn’t remember the pumpkin pies over the holidays or the cookies she would spends hours preparing and handing out to family and friends. Carol enjoyed playing games throughout her life whether it be cards or bingo or doing puzzles. She could do puzzle for hours on ends and just loved taking something that is ‘not together’ and turning it into something special. She also loved to travel and especially loved Colorado where she spent a lot of time RV’ing with her husband Ed. Carol was special in way that allowed her to be for each of us something wonderful and special. Carol was a mother, a daughter, a grandmother, a wife, a cousin, a sister, a niece, an aunt, a friend, a coworker, a client, a neighbor and the list could go on. Let’s just say Carol was Carol and in that one word she was special to each of us in many different ways. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, September 30, 2023, at 3:00 P.M. at Mission Park Funeral Chapels North, 3401 Cherry Ridge Drive.
