I met Carol thru her husband Victor, whom I had worked with at Maricopa County for over 10 years. She was so full of life. I remember as her sister and her were antique lovers. I left the county in 2006, and lost touch with Victor and Carol. I just found this obituary, so sad to read. She would cut my hair at her home, as she was excellent at this. Sorry for your loss Victor. My condolences the you and the family for your loss.

I am saddened by the passing of Carol. I have fond memories of the many times we spent together; beaches in the Summer, Dances in the Fall and Winter, and times we spent with our close friends at their homes. Even though she moved to Arizona, she was thought of often. We will miss her. Our condolences to Vic and her sisters, Judy and Nancy, and their families.

I remember Carol from work at GATX. She was a lovely girl and I'm sorry to hear of her passing so prematurely. She was always so sweet, always immaculately groomed and stylish. My wife still has the fetish necklace I brought for her from Carol. My condolences to all her family.

I will always have fond memories with my high school friend. We spent many times in her dad's car going to the drive-in. She was in our wedding party over 40 years ago. Our best wishes go out to Vic and her sisters in these trying times.

I am so sad. Carol was my best friend for so many years. She was my maid of honor and her and Victor were Godparents to our daughter Karin. I think that even though we weren't in touch anymore, I always knew she was there in Phoenix and thought she would always be. God bless Victor, Nancy Jane, Judie Ann, Laurie and Ricky and the whole family. What terrible losses you have had to endure this year. Our love and prayers are with all of you.
