I remember Aunt Carol Jeanne as a wonderful listener. She was genuinely interested in what our family was doing throughout the years. I loved to be around her because she was always so cheerful and interesting. She had a beautiful laugh. I loved her and will miss her.
My Aunt Carole was one of the kindest and gentlest people on earth. My favorite memory is visiting her in New York City. She took me to Coney Island and I rode the Wild Mouse roller coaster that went out over the Atlantic Ocean. She always told me the story of taking me back to Kansas in an airplane when I was a baby. She didn’t know how to change a diaper and the man sitting next to her volunteered to change it. We always had the biggest laugh about that. I’ll miss her. —Mark Davis
There’s not enough room here to share all the love memories I have of my Aunt. 69.5 years she has been in my life. So, here is just one memory. I was 16 years old and my mother and aunt worked out is that myself into sisters would visit her in Boston. It was probably one of the best summers we spent since my dad was so sick when we were little she took us on a driving tour all over New England. I specially liked that. We got to Nantucket Island and we’re allowed to rent bikes and ride all day and just go where we wanted to go. She introduced me to a different way because that summer I must’ve devoured at least three novels hard to do since my mother was such an advert reader, but most of all she took us to see the play Hair. They were naked bodies ha ha. Her only comment was don’t sit on the toilets in the public bathrooms so that’s my aunt.
Condolences to her family. She was a joy to be around not only as a musician but as a friend. Sing to us from above now. She will be greatly missed.
Carole was like an older sister and a positive influence in my life. Both of us loved to talk and our visits, be they in person or on the phone, lasted for hours. We reminisced about our colorful ancestors, the state of education, her double pinochle, and good things to eat. She introduced eggplant parmigiana to me and it became my favorite Italian dish.Friends and family were important to us and we were blessed by them. Carole expressed both amazement and gratitude for her many experiences throughout her life. That I was blessed to be a part of her life is a treasure that brings a smile and a memory that will forever remain in my heart.
