Carol Ann was one who inspired us all. With a strong will to accomplish anything she set her mind to, she kept going without looking back.
She was a determined spirit who found color in everything that she encountered.
A loyal wife, a loving mother and a trustworthy friend, everyone who met her felt a sence of peace.  Carol Ann's sole being was to please her family, to meet every need and to warm every heart.  She was one who would listen truly with her heart and never judge.  Her advice was from the heart, she thought about everyones needs and supported them in any way possible, even if it put her out of her element.  Carol Ann was a mother who did everything for her children and their friends and was always there, day or night.  She loved  to find fun in anything she did, work or play, she made the best of it.  She loved children and awaited the day to have grandchildren.  When Dana got married, Carol Ann inherited 2 step-grandsons, 8 & 10, whom she considered her own.  She was also able to be a grandmother to several foster children and help raise them all.  She loved music, singing, dancing, painting and  gardening.  If there was a sunny day, she was out in it!
Carol Ann was, is and always will be a  true hero to those who knew her.
