To Carole's family:
I am one of Carole's Antlers High School's classmates and just learned of her death today (Jan. 1, 2020) and was saddened to hear about it. She was one of the nicest people that I can remember from our school days and always had a smile for people and had an easy going personality. I noticed in her obituary that our lives paralleled in that we both were teachers and had spent 40 years in education. Our class had a reunion in 2016 and I hadn't seen Carole since we had finished high school so had lots to catch up on and had a good visit. She was a sweet lady and my prayers are with each of you as you go through a painful period and adjustment in your lives. May God comfort you in your grief.

We were so saddened to learn of Carole's passing. We, Carole, and Robert shared many good times together which we will always treasure. She was a champion for her students and for animals during her life! Somehow the stray animals found her and she didn't turn any away. I know that many of the animals for whom she cared for waited for her at the Rainbow Bridge to welcome her into Heaven's Gate and, because of her love for and support of her family that God welcomed her with a "Well done, Carole…well done! Our prayers and thoughts go out to Randye and Rhonda during this difficult time.

Hal and I were so sorry to learn about Carole’s passing. She was a wonderful friend and such a caring person. Hal appreciated all she did for the class reunions and all she did for their classmate, James Cather. We both enjoyed being with her she was such a good friend.
