Carol had many interests centered around family. She was a faithful follower of her grandchildren who played sports of all kinds. She was an advocate of 4-H and helped Shelly and Cory show livestock at the Jackson County Fair. She also helped her grandchildren in their efforts to raise and show their animals as well. From chickens to rabbits, to goats, to sheep, to steers, she helped them all. The sheep parents named her Sister Mary Ruth because she was always helping youngsters.

Carol and her husband enjoyed attending car shows and touring in their 1957 Plymouth, with their special friends Dale and Rosie Current; Bob and Darlene Wilkinson; Thom and Mo Baird; Phil, Meredith, and Christy Pearson.

The family wishes to say “Thank You” to Dr. Trimble, Dr. Kak, and Dr. O’Neill and all the nurses that cared for Carol and made this experience much easier.
