Carol spent most of her life in the Centralia area, working as a waitress at several area restaurants. She always had a big, compassionate heart and a snappy comeback and truly cared about her customers. She adored her grandchildren and “great-grands”. Carol was their devoted “BaBa” and “Gramsie”. Her love, laughter, and sense of humor will be missed.
A private graveside service will be held at Sandoval City Cemetery. Memorials may be made in Carol’s honor to the Family and will be accepted for her family at the Day Macz Funeral Home in Sandoval.
