Carol enjoyed working and her coworkers, but was much happier as a homemaker. She was devoted to her family and home. She had an open door and her children and their friends were always welcome. Her children went out on their own, and sometimes came back and that was just fine with Carol. Her home was the gathering place for her family and she was deeply involved in all her children’s and grandchildren’s lives. She was always there with a helping hand, kind advice, and the unconditional support a mother shares with her family. She loved her home gardening, her plants, ceramics, her collection of owls and butterflies, and bird houses. There have been so many wonderful family memories shared around her kitchen table, pool, and in her backyard. She will be lovingly remembered for the affection, concern, and kindness she showered her family with. Carol was the loving wife of Richard Danielson, who had passed on just 5 months ago.
