So very sad to hear this!! Carol was a thoughtful and caring person. Always had a smile to share!! She will be missed!
You can tell the true character of a person when things are not going so well. Our sister Carol Mac was dealt one bad blow after another throughout 2023 and met the adversity each time with incredible positivity, a smile and never a complaint. She so loved her son Bobby and his family, they were the love of her life! Carol lived a simple and private life devoted to work and was as positive a person as there could be. She had only kind words, a big smile and well wishes for everyone who she crossed paths with…so similar to our Mom Jeanne Mac. Birthdays and holidays will never the same without Carol and her famous chocolate chip cookies. Our fond memories of her love will last forever. God bless you sis…we love you!

So sad to hear of Carol’s passing. I had the honor of working with her at Old Navy and Gander Mountain. She always felt like my “work mom”. She always had such a positive attitude and the days were always better working with her.
So sorry to hear of the loss of Carol…. She was a very kind woman with the heart of Gold. I remember Carol from the family & I babysat for Bobby Jr. She was always so welcoming. The McFarland & Maggio’s have a great history, & I consider you all my brothers & sisters! Mom & Dad used to enjoy getting together with Mr & Mrs Mac for their card parties, & Many Golf Games. My Heart goes out to All of you & May she rest in Peace until all eternity! All My Love!
