I knew Caroline working at Bass Shoe Co. I work just in front of her, so we would chat during our breaks. She was a lot of fun to work with. She would donate blood during the Blood drives that Basses had during the year, she was a person that care about others regardless if she knew them personally or not. Will miss seeing her around and about while shopping.
The family of Francis J. Brougham offers our sincere condolences to Caroline’s family and close friends . She worked for my Dad , Francis , at the Post Office as a loyal and valued member of his team. He is in a rehab facility at this time with a broken pelvis. 😟
I am so sorry to hear about Caroline’s passing. I first met her when I was working at Sparke’s Hearing and she quickly became one of my favorite clients. I loved talking with her and she was one of the nicest, kindest people I’ve ever met. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
It was always a blessing to see Caroline and her friends (and sometimes her daughter, Sandra) at our programs at the New Hope Baptist Church. Praise God for the assurance of Heaven to those who repent and believe. May the Lord comfort her family and bring glory to Himself through her passing.
So sorry to hear of Caroline’s passing. She was a joyfilled Christian lady who loved the Lord and loved others with her whole heart. Prayers for Sandy and the family during this difficult time.
The news of Caroline’s passing is saddening. What a sweet lady whom I had the pleasure of working with at Bass Shoe. I will miss her face at the department and think of her often. You don’t meet people like her every day. My condolences to her family.
