Carol was one of a kind! She was a caring soul who loved with her whole heart. Her kindness towards people and animals was always apparent and she will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to call her a friend.

I have lots of fond memories of Carol when we were growing up in Watford City. She was always so funny and entertaining. I’m glad we were able to connect with her in Florida a few years ago (and celebrate her birthday) with “the girlfriends”. Prayers to all of you. Gayle
