Her Family was always #1 in her heart and would do anything to help or protect them!

She Retired from Washington Water Power / Avista in 1994, after 27 years of Service and was fierce about sharing her knowledge of saving energy with all who would listen. She enjoyed going to church with Jim at Assumption Catholic Church on Indian Trail Rd, listening to Father Tim.

Carole loved LIFE! She loved traveling around the Country with Jim in their Motorhome, visiting the hundreds of Cousins around the United States. She loved Golf, Cooking, Hosting Parties, Sewing, her Cats, playing cards and Wine. She loved to watch her kids and grandchildren play sports.....Hundreds and hundreds of games! The Seahawks, Cougars and Mariners. Wintering in Arizona with her friends. But mostly she LOVED her Family! There wasn't anything she wouldn't do for her Family. They were truly her Heart and Joy!
