Collister and Toyoko Collister of Lakewood, both preceding her in death. Carol is survived by her sisters Barbara (husband Jai), and Donna (husband Rob). She is missed by her nephews Alex and Nick, whom she loved dearly. Carol adored gardening, the ocean, and walking her dog. Any time spent with her friends and family was very special to her. She was a well-loved host mom and friend to many foreign exchange students over the years. She worked in the dental industry for many years before making a career change and working as a para-educator working with children with autism. Carol was gifted with them and cherished making a positive difference in their lives and education. She has made a positive difference in many lives, and we will miss her warmth, her bright smile, her amazingly cheerful attitude and her silly sense of humor. Carol will always be our angel.
