Note: Carol has a memorial gravestone in McDowell Cemetery in rural Jefferson County. According to a story in the "Des Moines Register" of Friday, February 4, 2000, she was quite a character. She was the type of person who loved to crack jokes and have fun, and would always lend a hand when she saw it was needed. Her life was cut short by cancer, but she literally went out with a bang... several, in fact. Her body had been cremated and her ashes were packed into five or six fireworks, which were then launched at a family gathering on Saturday. What a way to go....
