We already miss her so very much. We’ve lived next door to each other for 43 years and it’s hard to believe she is not there. She has been a very good friend and we miss her terribly.
My family and I loved Carol. She was here from day one. Whether it was to pick me up from school because I was sick, or our annual Halloween candy give away– she gave full size bars. We will miss trying to outdo eachother with the Christmas decorations in the yard. You were a great person and will be so missed.
My God in heaven. Words cannot describe the heartbreak I feel. We just recently reconnected she was always a second mom to me. She was a very loving soul and beautiful person who loved her entire family. Please Lord comfort this family in there time of loss. Love you very much Carol
She was my 2nd mom growing up. My house was up the street but my home was there. She showed and taught me so much. She took me in as her 3rd daughter. Mom was an amazing woman with all of her many talents. My favorite she made you look beautiful or handsome. Fly high Angel until we meet again. Love Lil Heather
Im so very sorry for the huge loss of Carol. Im so very shocked. She was an amazing friend to my parents, caring for them even after death. Im positive my parents greeted her at those pearly gates, ready for a fresh cut, color and tease! We’ll be praying for your family as you travel thru these new firsts and life without Carol.

Carol, even though we haven’t connected in years, I always looked forward to your visit at our house in Jefferson City when growing up. It was camping out in our living room and fixing my hair in a up do.. My prayers go out to your family in this difficult time. 💕
Very sorry to hear this. Please accept my sincere condolences to all the family. Carol did my mom’s hair for over 60 years, and now she can continue. My mom was LaVerne Sauer. Prayers for Gene and the girls.
The salon will be severely under decorated and quiet without Carol. She decked our halls with love and sparkle everytime. I can’t imagine not coming to work and hearing of Carol and Kathy’s shenanigans. Love you, Carol. You’re missed.
