Carol retired from the Department of Corrections at Boonville Correctional Center in Boonville, Mo., where she was an Academic Teacher. She was a teacher, not just in the classroom, but outside the classroom as well. Carol always saw the beauty in every living and non-living thing. She always saw God clearly in the environment in which we live. She taught that everyone and everything has a place in this world. One of Carolís friends said, ìWhether you are here in the physical form or not, I will always see the bright sun, windy trees, aromatic flowers, and icky bugs and think of you.î Hopefully her lessons will continue. Family was also very important to Carol. She loved being with her children and grandchildren. It brought her great joy watching them grow. Carol was a genealogist, spending many pleasurable hours doing extensive research into her family history and the legacy they passed on to future generations.
