January 14, 2020 at 10:25 pmCarol, you were my FAVORITE Co-worker. I loved it when you asked me about my life, said my name wrong on purpose, and how you just always knew how to make me smile and make work enjoyable. I also loved it when you gave me your left over food. You really are a special. You have had a huge impact on me. It made me happy to see you every day. Thank you for everything and coming into my life. I know heaven will be blessed to have your presence there. I will miss you.

January 20, 2020 at 5:24 pmJean and the Taylor family, we are deeply sorry for your loss. Carol was special lady and she was always upbeat and made you feel good when we were around her .My business relied on loans, notary, etc., and Carol would always have time for me without an appointment at the Bank. We were unable to attend I did send my condolence to Flint because he was the only contact I had. Jill and I send you our love to you and the entire family, she will always be smiling down at all of us!

January 21, 2020 at 6:36 amI deeply love Carol and just learned of her death today. We car pooled together for five years when we both worked for Zions Bank so I feel like I know your family by proxy. She is a wonderful woman and the news of her passing takes me completely by surprise. Hugs to you and let’s treasure her memory.
