She was an elegant, grand lady, known for her red lips and pearls. Carol spread joy through her smile and kindness to all. Her strong faith and devotion to Sweet Jesus was evident in all she did throughout her life. Carol was active for 50 years in St. Edmunds Church and gave her time and talents endlessly to the parish. She had a lifelong quest for knowledge and adventure. Carol had a passion for travel, music, history, the theatre, and the New York Times crossword puzzle. She was an amazing woman who gave all an appreciation for the finer things in life.

Her grandchildren Edward (Maggie), Angela, Gerard, Madeline, Andrew, Gabrielle, Nicholas, Patrick, Brendan, and Lily who were a never-ending source of joy to her.
