Carol's recent passing is of great sadness to so many Platteville people and me as she was always so welcoming and caring when I'd be "home" from Peoria and check my property and contact her either by phone or visit her at City Hall...I was amazed at her positive attitude and genuine persona...and know she is missed by all who interacted with her. Please accept my deepest sympathy for her family and friends...she was one of a kind. Thoughts and prayers are extended to all of you. Respectfully, Carolyn Schuldt PHS 1960

I worked with Carol for the City as a college student from 1990-1994. What a caring and special lady. She was always so proud of Lisa. My deepest condolences for your loss.

Carol was a beautiful soul and dedicated public servant. She was a joy to work during my time in Platteville and I know that she loved her family very much. My thought and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
