Shari Swanson says
I’m so sorry to hear this. So many familiar names and faces — a trip down memory lane just reading all the names in Carrol’s obituary. Memories of old family gatherings when I was small and my grandmother was with her nieces and nephews who were parents to this big family. There were lots of us in town, weren’t there?
Thinking of you all.
Norman Willson says
I remember back in days of high school; Carol, Marian, Jack , Merrill and I used to walk to school with Joel. Those were the days. Carol always had a nice smile.

Jack and family,
My condolences for your loss. Carrol was very good to me, and always treated me with such love and respect. She secretaried many rodeos I was in as a young man. I’ll always remember that she loved… and always told me so…a particular song I wrote years ago. She was a special lady.
Sharilyn says
Miss you daily, Carrol! I’m sure you and Jeri Ann are celebrating!
