Carol was a good wife, mother, mother-in-law, sister, grandmother and great grandmother. Her life was centered around music. She taught herself how to play the piano by ear when she was a young girl then went on to play the Organ and Accordion. She never learned to read music she always just played by ear. She also loved to sing. She also enjoyed doing genealogy and learning about her ancestors. Carol had the best fun personality. Whoever met her loved her. She made others laugh all the time. You couldn’t help to be happy around her and always have a good time. She was always so grateful for whatever you would give her even if it was from the dollar store. Carol was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She cherished her faith and served many callings which she always loved.
