She was known for being very hip and up-to-date on her wardrobe. She had a love of fun for life, amusement parks (loved roller coasters), beaches, swimming, sun tanning, reading fiction novels, food and chocolate. T.V. was a favorite pastime (loved sci-fi movies). She collected many dragon paraphernalia. She had a love for music and dance. Carol was just plain fun to be around. Carol is predeceased by her son, Daniel “Dan” Strickner.
