Carole was a wonderful and dedicated employee at Surgimed for many years. She worked as the only billing person, sending claims that were typed out, by mail! She embraced the computer world reluctantly but soon mastered this as well! She trained me in billing and insurance coverage when I arrived here 34 years ago. She had tons of patience and a sense of humor that made work fun! We laughed a lot! She really was my work mom. Classy, hard working, down to earth, giving. Rest in Peace.

Carole will so be missed by every one who knew and loved her. I have so many wonderful memories of camping together as young families, especially at Point Sebago, in Maine. The laughter around the campfires will forever bring a smile to my heart. Prayers and love to all.

Many years ago a friend of Paul’s and myself Introduced Carole and Paul. Love is a splendid thing! I was a bridesmaid at their wedding. Carole was an amazing friend and classmate. In grammar school, Carole would always share her date nut squares with me. Her mother made them. They were so, so good! She will be the bright star shining down on you. Paul, Jennifer, Sandy, Sue, and Family, we are so sorry for your great loss. Love and Sympathy, Linda & Ernie Richardson
