Dear Jay.
What wonderful and memorable times Carol and the the All Saints gang share in common. I will never forget and always be thankful for her continuous assistance. Heartfelt condolences to you and your family…

We will miss Carol
Carol was a long time supporter of the Littleton Lions Club (last saw Carol at the Littleton Festival manning the booth) an over 10 year+ commitment of both the LGA and the Water Safety Council. Carol had a leadership role with the LGA Lake Clean Up Committee. The next time you are on Eaton Ferry Road near Food Lion, look for the NC DOT Adopt a Highway signs indicating the LGA has adopted the road all way to the Watersview Restaurant. Current LGA members took Carol’s concern about the lake to the next level.

Long time friend
Our friendship began in the early 80’s when our boys began playing baseball. Our sons attended Benedictine High School in later years. Later in life we met up again at St Peter the Apostle Church and Carol was always there to help and support anyone who needed it. She was a very giving person and her memory will live on through everyone who knew her. May God bless her soul 🙏

With love
Carol was a good friend during my time in New Jersey and served as my Maid of Honor. We lost contact over the years but reconnected several years ago. It was always a treat to visit with her a couple times a year. She will be missed.
Thoughts and prayers for her family 🙏🙏
