Carol was an avid sports fan, but most of all New Orleans Saints football. Carol was a Mardi Gras fanatic and that passion was passed down through the generations. She was an excellent bowler for many years. She also coached at Community Park and loved her girls like her own. Carol became a bus driver for St. Bernard Parish Schools after being a homemaker while raising four children. She took pride in her job and made all who came in contact with her feel special. Her greatest joy however came from spending time with her family. Carol will be deeply missed by many dear friends and family that adored her. The family would like to thank all those who were so kind during this journey. We would also like to thank her doctors and staff from East Jefferson Hospital and Ochsner Medical Center.
