Carol graduated from Deadwood High School in 1961 and Black Hills State University in 1965. Upon graduation the McCarroll family moved to Orlando, where she taught elementary school for six years.

Hard to lose a classmate, makes us realize our own mortality! She was always so good to all of us. When we were little she had some major health issues and even went to Mayo's which in those days was a rarity! Carol loved her visits to the Hills and Deadwood and came fairly regularly. Remember the Ben Franklin! That was a major stopping place to and from school for little candy items, gum, pencils and other school supplies as well as toys! Our moms bought household things there like dishes, mixing bowls, etc.
Rest in Peace and in God's love, Carol Ann.

I am so sad to hear of Carol's passing. Just a month ago, I got a nice email from her about a planned trip to South Dakota - she loved going back home and meeting with her friends. She had a good life in Florida, with a loving family that gave her much joy. RIP, Carol.

I was shocked by Carol's sudden death. Like Marge I received an email from Carol about her SD visit. She told about her love and feeling of roots in SD. Her wording in the email was upbeat and actually funny the way she worded the message. Rest is peace Carol and enjoy your reunion with sister Connie! :)
