Carol worked for the City of Beaumont for 20 years as a fiscal assistant where she met and made lifelong friends. She enjoyed travel, gardening, music, and good times with friends at Wine Styles in Beaumont. She loved her family, not the least of which was her beloved cat, “Killer,” whose name was characteristic of Carol’s dry wit and brilliant sense of humor.
