The many times I received one of Carolyn's cards, my spirit was lifted and gave me pause to reflect on all God has given me. She was an inspiration. The last message I received from her, she sent me a great picture of herself with her grandson. I was a preveiledge to know her.
We had so much fun volunteering at the thrift shop:)

A wonderful woman has left the Skaneateles area a poorer place!
She WAS the Skaneateles Nursery School! My 4 children learned so much from her. She left the nursery school far better & stronger, so my 4 grandchildren also thoroughly enjoyed & learned there. She's
In God's arms now, resting in peace. Well done, Carol!!!!!

Carol was truly a wonderful caring lady! We’ve known Carol .for 50+ years as a friend ,previous neighbor and Skaneateles Nursery School parent! Our son learned a great deal from Carol . She cared so much for all her students! In recent years we enjoyed visiting with her while at Rebound in Marcellus and catching up on all the family! She will truly be missed by all in the community! May she Rest In Peace!

Carol will be greatly missed by all at Rebound Sports and Orthopedic Physical Therapy. We enjoyed reminiscing about the Adirondacks and her early life. She enjoyed Doc and Emmett's visits at her home the last few years. Carol was a very sweet caring person. Her infectious laugh brightened every room she entered. She will be missed by all she touched.
Rest in peace with the Lord, Oh faithful servant.
