She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren and watching them compete in their various sports and activities. Baking with her grandkids was one of the great joys of her life along with gardening and traveling. She was the life of a party and always enjoyed visiting with friends. Carol was also very involved with Wildwood and was a shining light for all of the nursing staff.
