Carol contributed a great deal to this site, and indeed others. I did not know her personally, but
she was so warm and encouraging to me when I took over the Jackson County site. She had
a lot of enthusiasm for genealogy and people. She ran the 'Genealogical Research & Publications'
in Danville. Many people were helped by her work. We will all miss her.

I've been trying to find the words to say about Carol, but it's very
difficult. Carol was not only a good friend to me for over 20 years, mostly
by way of chat rooms and email on the internet, but also on the phone
ocassionally and a couple of times I visited her at home. She was one of
the most cheerful and remarkable people I've known, even through her last
months. I chatted with Carol on the internet a number of times after I
learned that she was going through chemo, and it never failed to impress me
how cheerful she was, how concerned she was about me. It always seemed she
had so much concern for others, and so little for herself. She felt herself
in God's hands, and was comforted by that. I, like so many in genealogy
circles, will miss her a great deal.

~To Sandi Shockley:
"I am Karen Joan Robertson, third daughter to Carolyne Joan Stultz. My dad
had me check mom's e-mails this evening to answer any that needed responded
to. Thank you so very much for your kind words. She was such a wonderful
person and yes, she was always cheerful, up to the very end. I saw her the
Wednesday before she passed and she just hugged me and my girls and smiled
and held my hands because I was cold to keep me warm. She talked as if she
had another 100 years, that was her, always happy, always optimistic! I
wish everyone in the world could be a little bit like her, it would be a
much better place. She was a blessing to anyone who met her. We miss her
so very much but we know that she is now in Heaven with all those people she
researched and her grandson (my son) and she is finally without pain. Thank
you, again, for your kind words. It is a comfort to listen to others speak
of her too."
