It was a pleasure to know and care for such a beautiful soul over the years. Carol will be so greatly missed.
I never had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Stanton but I am very fortunate to be a close friend of Janice and Amanda. Sending all the love in the world from your Cactus Jack’s family.
Oh sweet Carol, we had so much fun years ago working at McDonalds! Rest easy my friend. Hugs to your family.
Sleep with the Angels, Miss Carol ….rest in peace …
Dave, so sorry to hear about your moms passing. She was a great lady and will be greatly missed. (Kelly formerly from Gaylord Family Practice).
Carol was always a sweet woman to me and the office staff. She spoke her mind I was told, but we always saw the good side of her. She wanted to always look nice, over the years I would help her order clothing. It was extra special in January when I sat in her room and helped her pick out some items. She loved her skirts and flowers. She will be missed at Wellspring-Fairview! May you be with your Jim now!
What an honor it was to have become friends with Carol. We shared some special moments together. Her smile sure will be missed.
So sorry for your loss and I only knew Carol through Rite-Aid but we would always talk and she would always help me out and always put a smile on my face,great lady
We learned to know Carol at Wellspring where she shared a table with our family member. After Mom passed, we stayed in touch with Carol…..lots of good talks. She was always aware of what went on with other residents and was encouraging and caring to those around her. She will be missed.
