Carol was named for her father, Hollis, who was still serving overseas when she was born. Hollis was a masculine name, but her mother determined to name the child after her father in honor of his service and the possibility he might not return from war.

Carol was a very unique individual, strong and feisty, but also sweet and caring. She loved being a mother and was proud of her children and grandchildren. She was a child of the 50’s and 60’s and loved music from that era. Carol left a strong impression on people, and will be fondly remembered by many.
Sail on silver girl.
