Received this email notifying me of her death. I corrected the high school in the obit.
Carol Ann Olson (married name Carol Williams) class of 1960 who passed away in Thousand Oaks recently. Some of the info in the paper (Ventura County Star) was wrong and so I contacted her church. I was told that her husband had died some years ago and no other relatives. Her illness left her unable to speak, etc. I think a neighbor wrote the obit. It is basically right as far as I know, except for the mention that she graduated from Burroughs with honors. Not so. I was a friend throughout elementary school (Monterey Ave), junior high (Luther Burbank) and Burbank High School where she was in Secretarial Science for all three years. I was with her the night we graduated from Burbank High! I am hoping you can add this to your blog. Although we were good friends in school, we did not communicate for many years. But I do feel an obligation to get the facts correct. thank you, Marcia Mudgett
Carol was my second cousin. Her mother was my grandmother, Helen Mae Price Russell's, sister. Carol was a wonderful person. I only wish we could have kept in touch better through the years. She was a true blessing to know and I am blessed to be her cousin. Marsha Toler, Kansas City, KS
