Carol Ann had a huge vision for world missions. But she also was very close to all those she met. I really appreciated a gift she gave me, a bracelet on the Sunday our pastor challenged us to remember someone in a special way. I was so touched she thought of me.
You were like a second mom to me so many times over the years. I always felt your love when coming to see you. You were there for me in hard times with prayer and love and support. I will miss you. Rest in heavenly peace.

My family misses our dear friend, CarolAnn. I miss our lunches, I miss being at church together, and I miss what a grounding presence she was…so steadfast, trusting and constant in the Lord. And she always had a smile that displayed her deep joy and peace in Jesus. She loved like Jesus, and when we had lunch together we would often run into people whose lives she had touched. We know she is home now, and she left a strong example for those of us still traveling here. ✨✨✨

Carol Ann was a beautiful Christian who knew and lived her faith, the world is a better place because of Carol Ann. We will miss her
Carol Ann was a soldier of Christ who built her life on the Solid Rock. She lived a JOYful life served the Lord in countless ways sharing her love of Christ with everyone she met. Her middle name should have been JOY. Only in Heaven will Carol know the True impact of her life on others. When I think of Carol Ann I think of the the 1990 song by Ray Boltz – Thank You for Giving to the Lord https://youtu.be/COUN6TB3O_s?si=XH6_odapV64fvMax
