After an amicable separation and divorce, she met and married the love of her life, James (Jim) Brown on November 27, 1987. Carol and Jim loved to Travel. Some of their favorite trips were to Alaska, Hawaii and Cozumel. They had a love and appreciation for classic cars and were once members of CC Riders out of Oklahoma City.

Carol and Jim loved the lake and cherished many years living by Lake Texoma, where they developed many friendships and great memories. They also enjoyed time in residence in Dallas, TX, New Orleans, LA, Sherman, TX, and most recently in Oklahoma City, OK. Carol loved to entertain, and often invited friends and family over to enjoy their home and pool with a glass of wine, corn-hole and a plethora of laughter.

Carol, worked approximately 8 years at the Madill Record, writing a Gossip Column and ended her work-career at Southwestern Bell/AT&T as a Drafting Clerk. She retired in April, 2000. She also volunteered her time as the SBC OK Chapter Webmaster, in addition to being a room mom for her kids, when they were in elementary school, and a denmother for the cub scouts.

Carol loved cats and had an exceptionally special bond with their recently departed family member/cat – Kalli. Carol missed Kalli and is likely delighting in her reunion with her most beloved feline in heaven.
Carol was passionate about life and loved her husband, family and friends with every ounce of her heart. She took pride in her home, her family and her Catholic faith. She is described as being the “best gift giver” and “caring – sometimes caring too much”. She “never met a stranger” and “would talk to anybody”. “The world has dimmed a little without her light to continue shining down upon us all, but the memories we have of her will continue to illuminate and warm our hearts from this point forward. She was loved and cherished, and now we will love, cherish and share memories of her with future generations.” Carol Brown had an unforgettable personality, and accordingly, she will never be forgotten.
