Carol lived life on her own terms and was never afraid to be herself. She enjoyed the simple pleasures that brought her happiness, whether it was smoking a cigarette while relaxing, trying her luck gambling, playing bingo, or settling in to watch her favorite game shows. She was especially proud of her ability to outsmart family members while watching Jeopardy! and delighted in proving just how much she knew. Carol loved listening to all kinds of music and found joy in sharing laughter and good times with those around her.
Above all else, Carol’s greatest love was her family, especially her grandchildren. They were the center of her world, and she treasured every moment spent with them. Her love, strength, and unique personality created memories that will continue to bring smiles to the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
