Carol found joy in visiting the beach in Avalon, NJ, and took immense pride in being a dedicated mother and grandmother.

Her love for reading and her selfless, gracious nature were hallmarks of her life. She was influenced deeply by her family, including her parents, grandmother “Nanny,” brothers, and husband.
