Special thank you to the wonderful staff at Lebanon Center Genesis. From the housekeeping staff to the dining staff to the office staff to all the nursing staff; everyone knew the lady with the bows in her hair. She would get your attention; even a quick wave hello would get a big Carol smile. Carol felt very close to so many there, before COVID-19, you would find her in the living room sitting pretty having her coffee. She loved to talk, do crafts, and show off her new clothes. Thank you all for the attention, the care, and the love you gave our mother, we appreciate every bit of it.
Burial will be in St Mary Cemetery.
