Carol did so much for my children. Her kind heart and soul will always be remembered. Her pies were always the hit of any dinner, especially with a little ice cream. She will be missed by all!!
Immediately recognized Carol. The Mother of one of my best friends in Grade School – Greg. I remember Carol hosting a few birthday parties – she made sure we had fun.

Mike and I (at the 202) send our sympathy to your family.
I very much enjoyed working with Carol at Cambridge Memorial Hospital. Always helpful, kind and cheerful.
So very sorry for your loss. We so enjoyed Carol when she, Clarence & Kristy visited Florida. She loved her card playing and shopping! She was always so happy and pleasant to be around. She’s now in the arms of Jesus♡. Praying for you all.
Thanks for the call, Brent. We enjoyed many years of square dancing with your mom in Minnesota and Texas plus many Friday night meals at Bradford. Always enjoyed being invited for your moms BBQ ribs. No one could make them like hers. God’s peace and strength be with you all. Your mom was so proud of her family.
We will always remember the good meals that aunt Carol shared with us.
She and Clarence and Kristy visited my mother regularly when she was in assisted living and regularly brought sweet treats to go with coffee. She could always keep us up to date on family news.
Even from Texas she wrote often and her letters meant a lot.
Our prayers are with family for comfort knowing she is with the Heavenly Father.
Carol was always nice to me and helpful, when I started working with her at the Cambridge hospital, she would be right there to answer any questions I had concerning our job . we always had a lot of fun talking about our families. she was so kind always.
My sympathy to her family for their loss of a wonderful lady.
Dear Anderson family, Carol was such a dear. I loved working at CMC and being around her. My daughter still has a desk she bought from Carol and we loved sharing the love of antiques. We will miss seeing her. Hugs to you all. Cherish the great memories!
