I was a classmate of Carol’s Duval 1957. She also stayed with me in my apartment in So. Charleston for a short while when we first graduated and had our first job. We moved in different directions but always touched base at our class reunions. Carol was a wonderful and kind person and I always enjoyed her company.
Deepest Sympathy to the family.

Emita and I deeply regret we will be unable to attend the visitation or funeral service for Carol. She was a delightful neighbor and we had become good friends. We will miss her friendly voice and warm smile. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I’m very saddened to see that Carol passed away. I worked with Carol for many years at the rehabilitation center. She was always very kind and personable and I know she loved her family so very much! Please accept my deepest condolences.
Very sorry for your loss. The family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Carol was a great neighbor and friend. She was so kind to my children and allowed her daughter to babysit for my precious son. So thankful she was a part of my life. Love to family
