Carol was born on April 7, 1957, in Calais, Maine, to the late Charles and Lanua Preston. She adored her dogs, cherished flowers, and found much happiness in doing arts and crafts. Carol loved jewelry and dressing up, always wanting to look her very best.

Her two beloved dogs, Patches and Princess, held a special place in her heart and were truly cherished companions.

Her presence brought comfort, beauty, and joy to those who knew her, and she will be deeply missed.
