She also enjoyed going camping and spending time outdoors. Carol loved spending time with her birds, most recently her cockatiel, Simeon, and her small dog, Peaches. Mostly she loved taking care of others.

She will be remembered for opening her home and heart to anyone who needed a place to stay. She will also be remembered for feeding anyone who was hungry, even if they were just passing through. Her family will miss her delicious homemade bread, fresh baked homemade cinnamon rolls, and especially her made from scratch pancakes and syrup every Sunday morning.
