Carol was a member of Evangel Temple and was very active in the church choir, women's ministry, and other church ministries. She and Cecil opened the first bible store here in Columbus in the 1950s. Carol worked as a clerk for the Muscogee County Tax assessor for many years before retiring. She was a great wife, mom, grandmother, and friend. All the kids called her MEMAW. Carol was a great woman of God who not only talked the talk, but walked the walk. We will miss all the wonderful meals and have no doubt she she will be the best cook in Heaven. Mom you will be missed dearly. Rest in Peace. All our love forever.
