     Carol was a shining light in the lives that all had the privilege of knowing her.  She had an infectious laugh that would fill a room and bring joy to the people around her.  You could find her spending time with her family playing cards, crafting, fishing, playing bingo and creating fun memories with her grandchildren who she loved unconditionally an who brought so much joy and happiness to her life.  Her passing has left a void in the hearts of her family, friends and many more that had the privilege of knowing her.  Carol dedicated her life to her family with unwavering love and support.  We ask that you remember her not for the way her life ended, but for the way it was lived as she loved her life and lived it to the fullest.  Carol had worked at McDonald’s in Lebanon, Ohio but will be remembered for her devotion to her husband, sons and grandchildren.
