What’s a fond memory or story you have about Carole you’d like to share
Although Carole’s(Aunt Carole!) time as a member of my extended family wasn’t terribly long, for an amazing 6 month stretch from the fall of 2001 through the end of the winter of 2002, Carole was more than just my Aunt. She was my weekly surrogate mom.
Her and Uncle Gil were gracious enough to open their home to me every Tuesday night/Wednesday morning during my Drexel co-op assignment in Farmingdale. She always made sure I ate dinner(always delicious), always made sure I woke up on time the next morning to catch the bus to Mineola, and always made sure I got back to Philly safely. She didn’t have to do any of these things, but her generosity and love for those she cared about were so evident in these acts of kindness.
Carole’s quirkyness, zest for life, and ability to hold a conversation with literally anyone have certainly been passed along to Jeff; her light continues to shine brightly through her son.
I’m very happy to have known her as long as I did. RIP Aunt Carole.
