We will miss Carol and our thoughts are with her family. I have known “Aunt” Carol for over 25 years and she will me missed greatly not only by her many family and friends, but by the West Seattle community and West Seattle High School.

My condolences to Carols’ family, her Seattle School District friends and of course to her many friends at WSHS. Carol had a natural sense of humor that made routine school days seem much more fun!! That quality is certain to be admired and certain to be missed.

Carol was a constant source of joy and kindness in our Main Office and she is greatly missed. She always had a smile and a ready sense of humor. No matter how hard the day, she would find a way to cheer it up – find something to laugh at. I miss her very much.

Carol was a true friend,I have known Carol since the early 90’s. We served on Bargaining team together. Carol and I shared and exchanged a lot of crochet ideas. It was always nice to be greeted each morning here at West Seattle high by her smile and pleasant voice. I will always remember Carol.

Carol was one of those people that just made the world better. Her sense of humor is what I will miss the most and her down to earth personality that just set you at ease. Carol was supportive, helpful and kind. I will miss her smile, her goodmorning, her laugh, and the way she was able to use her experience to solve your problems. Carol- I hope you’re having some fun wherever you are.

Sister Cheryl (So lucky to have her) November 17, 2011 (4:06 pm)

Carol I know you know exactly how I feel. You are the best and now you are our angel. Carol told me (and I know she was solid in her faith) that she knows where she is going and whenever the Lord calls she would be ready. She loved her family and her friends unconditionally and I will miss her EVERYDAY. Her beautiful son sent us a lovely song and it is running thru my thoughts daily. It is called “Save a Place for Me.” I know I will see her again. All of you who loved her and posted on here are spot on in your descriptions of her SMILE. Carol wore the warmest one.

I’ve known Carol since grade school and hung out with her and her sister Cheryl. We were brownies and girl scouts together. I will always remember the laughter and her outstanding sense of humor. She was a classic. You will be missed by all Carol…love you after all these years! Rest in peace my friend.

Be at peace, Carol. Such great memories of our time together at AHS and in Goldenaires. So glad we were able to reconnect in these last years.

cousin Barb November 17, 2011 (10:26 pm)

I’ve known Carol since she was born. She has always had the most beautiful smile (her mother’s) and fun personality! The world was a better place for having had Carol in it. Love you Carol, you will be missed!

Missing my sister Carol “duck”. She will forever live in my heart.

Carol;
I think of you every morning when I come to work at WSHS. I sign in, and I look at your empty chair. You were a top of the line person, a great problem solver and a lady whose sense of humor was infectious.
I miss you.

I’ll always remember Carol’s wonderful laugh and definately her sense of humor!

Rest in peace Carol, see you when I get there.

Gosh, it has been so many years since I have seen Carol…..last time was probably at one of our early class reunions. We graduated together in 1966. I too will remember Carol from high school for that wonderful smile and those DIMPLES of hers were amazing. She truly was one of a kind. I had hoped to see her in the near future for a lunch gathering but now I know I will see her in heaven. From what everyone has already said, she was still full of love and kindness and still had that sense of humor!! Rest In Peace Friend….love you still.

Aunt Pearl November 18, 2011 (2:55 pm)

I remember Carol when you and her were little
guys running around in the yard in your panties
and t-shirts with Kay and Noel and Rich.
Bill was somewhere with the guys.
Then lovely ladies going to school dances.
Of course all grown up at Moe and Barb’s house
with your own brood of young ones.
The sky doesn’t seem as bright today with Carol
gone. Even though I did’t see her much in the
last few years, I will miss knowing that she is
somewhere not far away. Uncle Warren and I cannot
drive very far these days. We get to the grocery
store and Drs. offices and that is about it.
We won’t be able to drive to Seattle for the
memory service. But we will be with you in our
hearts and in our prayers that you may be blessed
with much love and peace having had the joy of
having a sister and family member who brought you
joy. We will have silence in our house during
the service and praying for all of you.
Blessings of love, joy, peace and hope.
Aunt Pearl

Carol your beautiful Smile could light up Seattle, your voice like soft music….I loved the way you wrote your name, the C with a happy face inside. Always upbeat an fun……..

Mary Lou Weitzel November 19, 2011 (3:12 pm)

Cheryl, Carol and Christine were my “little” cousins. I will always remember Carol’s infectious laugh and her sense of humor. My heart goes out to Scott and the family.
Love Cuz Mary Lou

I met Carol and her family while just a kid in West Seattle. Carol had a great sense of humor and a wonderful smile that would light up the room. Many, Many wonderful times listening to summer music, talking and just hanging out. I’ll miss you very much my dear friend. (OH SURE!)
Thoughts and prayers to Cheryl & Sue.

Rest peacefully sweet Carol
