Carole was a great friend to me. I learned so much while working with her at OCPLL. She was my mentor and hero. I will remember her as the gentle, poised and kind person that she was. Truly a great role model for me. She has never left my thoughts.
Thank you Carole for everything you had done for the Orange County Public Law Library and its staff and the public. You are Great! Your work at the library is always appreciated. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Aside from the many things she did for everybody, I especially appreciate her getting me involved in the library newsletter. My favorite treasure from the library is the bound collection of newsletters the library gave me when I left its employment.
“In addition to all the help Carol gave me and others, I was especially grateful that she got me involved in the Library newsletter. The bound collection of all the articles that the Library gave me on my departure is my fondest momento.”

Carole was a great boss at OCPLL. I always thought of her in my IT work and remember her for her laugh and great sense of humor. I still can remember her IT password…a clever way indeed. RIP Carole and to her daughter Debbie and family may her memories be always cherished; deepest sympathy.
