Carol spent most of her career working in finance and real estate. Carol lived life to the fullest, spending time with her many family members, traveling the country and living part of her life in Florida and part in Indiana, with the love of her life, Jim. She loved baking cookies with her mother and Sunday dinners with her extended family. Her favorite thing was to bring all of her children and grandchildren together, then watch them laugh and enjoy each other. It was important to her that each of her family members knew how much she loved them. She enjoyed playing card games and winning! Time spent with her brothers and sisters was always full of love and laughter. All of our lives are richer because of our beautiful, kind and wise Carol. We will gather to celebrate Carol’s life with a viewing on Saturday, September 27, 2024, 12:00 noon-2:00 pm.
