She never hesitated to spend her time taking excursions, making holidays and birthdays a memorable celebration and making even the ordinary days special. She enjoyed gardening, volunteering at H.O.P.E., and baking her signature sugar cookies. Carole always remembered everyone’s special days with cards and frequently dropped them notes “just because.”
