Art and Family, You have our deepest sympathy on Carol's passing. She was always at Art's side and I remember her attending many Newaygo games and the many times she was at the flower shop and helping with the Arts and Crafts shows. She will be missed by all who knew her. We are in Florida for the winter and will not be able to make it to her funeral service. Our Sympathies Jim and Marge McKinley

Carol was a one of a kind person. She babysat both my children when she lived next door. She taught both my kids to swim as she loved being in their pool. Her kids played with my kids during their younger years. Even after our kids were grown and had moved away and I changed course in my life I'd see Carol at craft shows and it was as if we still lived right next door and time had not lapsed for us. She will be missed. May God bless this wonderful family in this time of sorrow. Lois Smith

Dear Art & Family, please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss of Carol. I would always see her at the arts & craft shows and sometimes bump into her at Plumbs. I always enjoyed talking with her. She will be sadly missed. Judy Saum-Anderson.
