Carol was a wonderful, loving, selfless person who was a cherished friend. I worked with her and was her supervisor in Kingsport Clerks Office until her retirement. She was such a fun, caring, shop a holic, lol. I loved her dearly. I'll see you again my sweet friend in our heavenly home.

I'm so sorry that Carol has passed away. She was such an amazing person with a great sense of humor. I used to get the tags for SCDE and that's how I got to know her. We later worked together at Hamricks and I dearly loved her.
