Carole, was my first cousin,and she and I were brought up together. My memories of her when she was little, that beautiful red hair, her determination, her absolute lack of fear. I was 12 years older than she was, and many of my front porch dates included not only my current "boyfriend" but 3 or 4 year old Carole. She was funny, uninhibited, and just plain Carole. I never knew what she might say or do. There are so many poignant memories of her that I will always cherish. I know that she is walking those streets of gold now, praising the Lord, and even though my tears are falling, I know that she and I will laugh together in Heaven.
Charles, Erin, Alpha and Family, Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. ~Author Unknown May the sorrow you feel in your heart lighten by the love that surrounds you. Always in my thoughts and prayers! The Centorani’s
I worked with Carole at USGS for years. She was such a pleasant person to work with. So sorry for your lose!
In God’s arms now.
My deepest sympathy to Charles and family. Carole was a wonderful human being. I am so glad I could call her my friend. After she retired we still stayed in touch. I am so glad I got to see her in the end. God has taken a special angel. I will never forget Carole. I will always treasure the friendship we had. She’ll be forever in my heart.
Prayers for Carol’s safe journey and for strength for her family.
Words cannot express the pain felt by this loss of such an amazing woman. I had yet to meet her but thru the moments we shared on the internet I felt so close to her, like I have known her forever. She helped me find a renewed belief in our lord and for that I will be eternally grateful. I am sorry for your loss Charles. Carole, may you rest in peace..God Bless you both.
Carole was like the older sister I never had when I was in my teenage years. Her outbursts of joy and laughter ring in my heart to this day. She validated my worth, took my cares as her own, told me truth when I did not want to hear it, and always loved me as a sister loves one. I am so blessed to have had this angel in my life, cannot wait to see her again in eternity, and I am so happy to have gotten to know Charles over the internet. I look forward to meeting Charles face to face. Charles and Erin, you are surrounded by Carole in those of us whose lives she touched. We love you as she loved us.
Carole will always be remembered for her strong faith in God and her tenacity to carry on. She will be greatly missed. Comfort and prayers for Charles and family.
Carole’s gentle, caring spirit in union with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, has blessed and helped me and so many others. It is a mixture of joy and sorrow to have her go from us to be with our Lord. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Charles who loved her so deeply. Ken and Martha Kuskey

Charles, I am very sorry for your loss. You certainly have been a wonderful support to Carole during her long illness. She touched the life of many. Here are the comments of my daughter; "Mom, I am so sorry to hear the news about Carole. She was always so nice when I used to call you at work." I am glad she is no longer suffering. My condolences to you and all of Carole’s family.
My condolences go to Carol’s family who I have come to know over the past several months via facebook. I am so sorry for your loss, I can tell how much she was loved.

We will remember Carole with always a smile in her face and for her incredible faith in the Lord. She will be missed.
Carole was a dear, dear friend. She was one who encouraged a person when they were going through personal rough times — a Godly presense at USGS. Truly Carole was one of the Lord’s Elect! May Carole Nethaway (in the arms of our Almighty) rest always in peace.
Carole was a wonderful and caring person. I will miss her very much. May she lie in sweet repose next to God.

With our love, Bing & Jackie Fuller
