Painting was one of the avenues she used to express her creativity. Her beautiful paintings brought her comfort and gave her joy. Carol’s faith was grounded in the Lord and she was a faithful member of Glad Tidings Church.

She is survived by her husband of over 60 years, Virgil Gaskill Sr.; children, Carla Jo Garner of the mountains of North Carolina and Virgil Gaskill Jr. and his companion Kathleen Moffitt of Newport; sisters, Betsy Styron, Patricia Styron, and Marsha Yeomans; and grandchildren, Shawn Ronning and Kayla Garner.
