Carol was a great wife, mother, and nanny. She was the sweetest woman to the people who knew her. She had a heart of gold and had no problems showing it to the ones she loved. One of Carol''s biggest gifts from God was her ability to pray for people; she was always praying for people, especially if it was lying heavy on her heart. She prayed more for others than she did for herself. Another one of God''s gifts was her way about taking something so small and finding humor in it; she used this to get through her obstacles in life. She was a simple woman and she had faith like a mustard seed. She loved spending quality time with her family. When she was able to, she enjoyed attending worship services at Central Church of God. Carol loved to travel and would often take back roads just to see where she would end up. She loved to play computer games as she would use that as a way to relax with her grand dog Sadie sitting in her lap. You are already greatly missed here on Earth Carol, but you are now in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior rejoicing in your heavenly home.
