Carol loved crafting, she would have booths set up at craft shows selling her beautiful merchandise. She liked road trips up North going to get the famous Smoked Hotdogs, and of course there were stops along the way to give her “donations.” She collected elephants and cardinals her backyard was the enjoyment of anyone who stopped over. They could see birds of every kind. When she was able to, she would attend her great-grandkids sporting events. She loved watching them play. She loved her family and was so proud of them.
