To Carol’s Family, Am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Carol at Villa, & bowled on the same team. Always had that smile, that said “I think you’re full of it”. Had a lot of good times .
So sorry for your loss, sending prayers
Sorry to hear of Carole’s passing. Prayers to her family. I pumped gas at the Pure station for
e her and Jim on weekend nights when I was in college. Then across the street at the drive in I remember all the great times we enjoyed there. created a new fad for a hot dog sandwich minus the hot dog with just the condiments on the bun. She got a big kick out of that as many of us kids would order that with a root beer. She was a kind and loving person and will surely be missed.
I have such wonderful memories of working for Carol at the drive-in in Adams. She was my first boss. I learned much from her. I car hopped first and then was the cook for several years when I was in college. She employed so many young people in their first job. She was firm and fair.
She gave up her drivers license so her husband could not send her for parts. I certainly remembered that when i married a farmer.
Brian and Denise.
