Our friend Carol: help us support her children and family

Carol was an outgoing, funny, kind and wonderful person - someone who we will all miss deeply. She always made everyone smile, constantly cracking jokes. She was at her core a mother, who cared so greatly for her kids she almost never stopped talking about them. She was young yet wise, and connected with kids on a sweet and gentle level. She loved animals passionately, especially farm animals, and was active in 4H. She was a mom, a daughter, a friend, and someone whose life was stolen from this world.

She worked at the Deer Lodge and became close with everyone she worked with. She was, and always will be, part of our Lodge family, and we are collectively at a loss of what to do or how to help. We will miss our friend forever.

She leaves behind two beautiful babies, Gracie and Jameson, who will never truly know the wonderful mother and person Carol was.

The proceeds from this gofundme will go directly to Carol’s family to provide for her children, to help them in the future.

The news of Carol’s death is shocking and painful to our community. We ask that in this time of intense grieving, we leave speculation aside and all do our best to prevent the spread of any rumors. We hold her family close to our hearts while they navigate this horrible tragedy, and we ask that you do the same by giving them peace and respect.

Thank you, Ojai.
