Julia Accola says
I have lots of good memories of my cousin Carol. She was about 15 years older than me and as a small child, I thought she was rather glamorous, with nail polish and everything. I remember staying with my sister at Aunt Edna’s (her mother). We knew that when the whistle blew at noon, we could run down to the corner to meet Carol and Uncle Martin coming home for lunch. I hope her family is blessed with many, many good memories of her.
Nancy Hagen Johhnson says
Like cousin Julie Accola, I spent a lot of time at the Braun home as a child. I have many memories of Carol at the bank and also thought that she was quite cool! I thought that Carol along with one of her best friends, Ilo Ortloff Winterfeldt were just the best! I hope that her family will know that she was loved by many of us Hagen cousins.
