I am sorry to hear of Carole’s passing. I didn’t know her, but knew we were related on my mother’s side. My deepest condolences.

So sorry to hear of Carol’s death. She was one of the first to welcome me to Sweet Adelines chorus when I moved to Evansville in 2012. Later, I learned she liked to do jigsaw puzzles and I gave her a bunch of those.
I am blessed to have known her.
Blessings and sympathy to all the family.

Joe Mode says
Oh no! She was my first, and best, supervisor when I was an instructor at Knoxville Job Corps in Knoxville, Tennessee. I’m awful sorry to hear of her passsing. She was great to work for, and great with the kids. She had our back too. We went to Texas together for computer training. I remember riding somewhere with her, and her laughing at me as I kept time with the windshield wipers, humming and tapping along. I hated seeing her leave Job Corps. I started a Knoxville Job Corps Facebook page and will share the news and obituary. May the Lord bless and keep you all during these trying times.
