Carol was a wonderful friend.

  She was one of the most loving, caring and selfless people I have every known.  She was a devoted wife and always longed for children of her own but was not fortunate enough to have any.  However; she did "adopt" many other children from friends by way of  spending time with them and even paying for their special needs and education.

 

She fought cancer for almost 7 years (after the doctors told her "not more than two").  Carol Flack (May) and somtimes Bobbie Killebrew (Romero) and I would all meet in Salt Lake City to spend a long weekend with Carol and Dick at least twice a year after she was diagnosed.  Carol B was always the quintessential hostess, caring for all our needs and seeing that we were entertained while we were there even though she was not feeling her best.  Her motto was "I just want to spend as much time with family and friends that I possibly can".

 

Just a few days before our last scheduled visit, Carol told me on the phone "it's not the quantity of life, but the quality of life that counts"  and she went to join our maker that night.  Carol Flack and I arrived in time for her funeral which must have been attended by over 300 people.  That lady affected many peoples lives while she was with us.

 

We will always love our Carol!!

CAROL BOYLES, WHAT A CARD, A LAUGH A MINUTE, HER OWN CAROL BURNETTE SHOW. I KNEW HER IN HIGH SCHOOL AND A YEAR AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE SERVICE WE RAN INTO EACH OTHER AND STARTED DATING. WE HAD FUN BUT TO MAKE THE STORY SHORT, MY BEST FRIEND WAS DICK DUNLAP AND I SET HER UP WITH A BLIND DATE WITH DICK. I SPENT THE NEXT 6 MONTHS TAKING CAROL ON ROAD TRIP TO RAPID CITY AND IDAHO FALL ON HER DAYS OFF T0 BE WITH DICK. SHE WASN'T THE BEST DRIVER YOU KNOW. THEY GOT MARRIED AND LANDED IN SALT LAKE CITY. NEVER GOT OVER TO SEE THEM. THE REST IS HISTORY. THEY MADE THE PREFECT COUPLE.  LOVE YA CAROL
