Im sorry to hear about carol Prayers to her family and friends
I will always remember Carol as a kind and bright lady who showed tremendous concern for the children of North Carolina.
Our sincere condolences to Carol’s family. We are at a loss for words to express our grief and sadness at Carol’s passing. We have lost a true friend and mentor, It is so hard to say goodbye…………………..
Carol was the head of Children and Youth when I was hired for my first job after I got my MPH. She was such a dedicated and caring individual and worked tirelessly to improve the lives of NC most vulnerable population. I will never forget her warm and welcoming demeanor. She was truly a mentor for me as I started out my career. May the family and friends feel peace and find joy in the memories.
Carol was a very good person to me, and I am saddened by her loss. May she rest in peace….I will never forget her!
