I’m so sorry to hear of Carol’s passing. When she moved to WA, I bought her Salt & Pepper shaker collection and I think of her every time I see them added to mine❤️. Carol & I worked together at Stockman Bank and she worked so hard, even though I knew it wasn’t very easy. RIP Carol.

Tammy, so sorry for the loss of your momma. I think of her often and will always remember our chats at the theatre, about AVON, and when I would visit her at home. She was always so sweet and kind. Thinking of you during this difficult time.

Sorry for your loss of Carol. I did AVON with her and really enjoyed the Miles City meetings. We also went to Chicago to the distribution center of AVON and one trip to Vegas. I did get to see her before she moved to Washington state.
She was a wonderful person and will be missed by many.
You are in my Prayers.
