Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

I stumbled upon this obituary looking for someone else and my heart was just broken to see that Carol had transitioned. My prayers are with the family and especially Brian and her other baby... Carol had such an infectious smile and personality. Carol and I became neighbors in 1996 that's when I met her and her son Brian. Carol was so funny at times when you wanted to cry, she'd have you crying laughing. Save a spot for me so we can laugh and joke Lady....

Carol Drake Taylor was a beautiful soul. She will be missed but forever loved by her family, friends, and church. Rosalind Thomas
