Carol  was a woman after Gods heart. She had devoted her life to three passions. Jesus, her family and nursing. Her life was selfless and with love endless. As a nurse, she had specialized in neonatal care. Each tiny life that she was gifted to care for, was transformed into a treasured story that she would share her family. Carol always saw the beauty within, every day, no matter the events. She was able to teach the lessons to her girls as God’s blessings. With her family, she was a devoted wife ,who loved her husband unconditionally. She taught her family beyond spoken lessons, often she taught them through her unconditional, unwavering and, at times undeserved love. To her family she was a  treasure.
