To all her family…we have lost a precious woman! Although she is not here with us, her memory will never leave us. As her sister I understand and feel your loss. She is no longer in pain but in the precious arms of Jesus and I know I will see her again. Love you Carrol and love you all.

Larry and Jerre Hutchins would like to say we were very sad to hear of our dear friend Carrol passing. She was a beautiful person. We got married in the living room of the McQuades back in 1977. She will be missed by all.
