Carol Ann Wood

Carol never met a stranger. She could sit next to anyone and strike up a conversation, offering her friendship if even for that moment in time. She was always willing to lend a hand, doing what she could to make special moments truly special.

Carol spent over 40 years working in the transportation industry with logistics and trucking. However, her passion was cooking and entertaining. She not only served her dishes but had a way of presenting what she cooked.
