Carol was the banquet captain/hostess at Country Club of Peoria for 26 ½. She also was the supervisor of Sullivan Civic Center in Sullivan for six years before retiring.

She enjoyed reading, gardening and crocheting which provided many prized gifts for her family. She was a talented cook and baker. She was the Jelly Roll Queen of our family and no one could ever replicate her jelly rolls. Many have tried.

Per Carol’s request there will be no visitation or services and cremation will be accorded. Burial of her cremated remains will be at Fondulac Cemetery in East Peoria at a later date.

Arrangements are by Preston-Hanley Funeral Homes & Crematory in Creve Coeur.

Her family would like to thank all the staff at OSF Hospice for their compassion and loving care of Carol.
