She is survived by her sister Katherine Blair, children Carrie (Cook) Baker; Bikki Bevelhymer and her husband Conor Donnelly; grandchildren Brody Baker, Rowdy Baker, Anna Baker, Paulien Donnelly, and Molly Donnelly; nieces Julia Bailey, Bailey Blair, Lynn Jackson, Terri Cowley, and husband Jeff; Connie Clark and husband, Craig Bakel; and their families.

Carrie and Bikki, so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I have known Carol for many years through work, professional organizations and friendship. She was a class act, a delight to work with, and, she was a true, caring friend. May God bless you both and your memories of your mother. Iris Baker-Starnes
