Dear Family,
I am heartbroken to hear of Aunt Carol’s passing as I know you are too. She was a light and inspiration to me. So many memories of all of us growing up with Aunt Carol and Uncle Bill. My prayers, love and positive thoughts are with you. I treasured my time with Aunt Carol and with all of you.
Looking forward to sharing stories and just hugging everyone.
Love, Peace and Blessings,
Monica and Chester Shipps
Remembering one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. Enjoyed her smile and warm personality. Will be greatly missed!
I am so sorry to hear. Carolyn was a dear, sweet woman. She was a champion for South City. We had a blast when she rode on the back of my motor bike about 10 years ago, to go grab lunch together. My condolences to your family.
I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. What a neat lady.
Wow not only she was my Boss ,she was a Beautiful Friend how many people can say that about your boss as we went so many places together lots of great times together I will keep her in my HEART FOREVER R. I. P
We just heard the sad news. Carol was such a kind person. My deepest sympathy to Brittany, Dominic, Carina and the entire family!! Our in person connections were few, but I loved engaging and seeing her posts on Facebook! Sending hugs. May your special memories bring you comfort during this very difficult time!
XOXO

I love you and your family. Thank you for loving me and putting up with me though teenager to adult years. You are an amazing person and will always be in my heart forever.
RIP

Carol was a lovely, sweet human. We were privileged to know her and proud to call her a friend and compatriot in the hospitality and city building efforts of South St. Louis. Such a doll!
