Carol was a long-time employee of the Villa Roma and a caregiver for Adelaide Schadt for years. Carol was a fantastic and loving mom, friend, and absolutely the best grandma and great-grandma you could get. She always spoke her mind, you never questioned where you stood with her. She was full of spunk and life to the very end. Everyone enjoyed her quick witt and sense of humor. Her heart was as big as she was. She will be greatly missed by many.
