Carol was a talented and sought-after seamstress; she made costumes for multiple dance, theatre, and ice skating companies. Always a humanitarian, Carol also knitted hats for the homeless.
Family was most important to Carol. She loved spending time with them, as well as her close friends. Carol enjoyed cooking and sharing her home-made Irish soda bread. She loved hugs and watching the Hallmark Channel. Carol was a parishioner of the International Church of Christ in Worcester for more than twenty-five years. She had a passion for her church, and was grateful for the friends she made there.
