Carolee was a dear friend from High School. She was fun and concerned about others and I loved visiting one on one with her as we thought a lot the same on so many topics. She was a devoted member of the church and I was so glad in later years that we made connections again. There is nothing like old friends. I will miss her dearly. I know how much he family will miss her and I pray for the Lords blessings to be upon each of you. There is nothing like the saddness in losing a mother but I know she was ready to go and be with her sweet husband and family members. All my love to you at this time. Annetta
Sad to see of the passing of a good friend from many years ago.
although I suppose she was ready to say goodbye to us here I know she will be missed by her family very much. She was an admirable woman who had accomplished much in this life. Hugs to those who loved her so much. Sandra Lee Olsen
I have so missed Carolee's bright smile and cheery disposition visiting us at the office. I had intended to come to the viewing, but ended up having a family funeral at the same time. I was so disappointed to not be able to see the daughters I had met. Anyway, condolences from us here at Eagle Gate. Rosanne, Bonnie and Eddie.
