I was sorry to hear of the passing of Carol. I worked with her at Cummins, Inc.May God comfort you during this difficult time.
Carol and I were friends through high school. We went to many dances at the Armory with her mother and dad. We worked at the Keg root beer stand on State Street. Also attended high school together and went to many of the class reunions. We also worked at Cummins. When I was home I always tried to call her to catch up. Lobed her like a sister!

Friends, I am so sorry for your loss. Carol sat at my dad’s table in the dining room at Keepsake. (My dad is Bill Dutcher.) She didn’t say much, but it always tickled Dad when she would wink at him. 🙂 She would always light up when Mr. Higgins came to visit her. I will miss seeing her, but I am glad that she is released from this terrible disease. God bless and comfort you all!
