Carol loved her three cats, and sewing sequin calendars. She had an extreme fondness for purses, pocketbooks, wallets and shoes. She enjoyed gathering with her family on holidays, especially her birthday. She was an avid follower of the Charlotte Checkers Hockey team, Walker Texas Ranger and Matlock TV series. At all her favorite local restaurants, she was on a first name basis with all the wait staff. Carol never met a stranger and will be missed by many.
