Michael, Betsy and family,

Carole was the driving force behind anything relating to The Arts in Ames. We all owe her a huge thank you and debt of appreciation for everything she did for our community. I personally will never forget her support for my musical endeavors, rare was a time I would see her at an event when she wouldn't pull me aside to say: "Jim, come here, I have got an opportunity for you....."
We will all sorely miss her energy, knowledge and passion to get great things accomplished. Please find solace in the fact that she touched so many lives in a positive way. I will always cherish the memories of my dear friend.

I met Carole when I was 9 years old and auditioning for ACTORS and Ames Children's Theatre productions. She took me under her wing and taught me things about the business of theatre that I otherwise would never have learned as a young kid. I remember during The Sound of Music (Stephens Auditorium, 1983?) she was the one who taught me what an understudy was, and stage presence, and how to project 'to the guy up there in the back row'. I had some wonderful experiences in Ames due to Carole making opportunities happen for theater-lovers and arts collaborators. I live and work in New York City as an actor, and Carole's dedication and support is certainly a part of what I do in the arts. Honoring Carole, and wishing her family joy and peace.

Dear Jeffrey and Michael, we are so sorry for your loss of your Mom. We fondly remember Carole for her kind words of encouragement as we progressed in our respective careers. Carole always had kind words for me as a woman in science.
Our sincere condolences and a deep felt sympathy to you both and your families. Louisa and Ali Tabatabai

I think of Carole every day. She was a profound influence in my life as a child and as an adult. I loved being in and creating plays with Carole and Children's Theater. There is no one like her. I learned grace, compassion, and creativity from her. In my heart, always.

I just learned of Carole’s passing. I got to know Carole from when she brought Jack to the doctor appointments. Then we stayed in touch after Jack passed. She was an inspiration to a lot of people. I will miss her greatly. Always enjoyed chatting with her over anything and nothing. Fran Miller

I was privileged to celebrate family occasions with Carole over the past several years in Austin with Michael, Betsy, Rachel and Lena. I appreciated her sense of humor, her stories and the friendship she extended to me. May her memory be for a blessing and the words of all those writing here bring her family comfort today and in the days to come.

So sad the hear this! Carole was a force!! She was a wonderful neighbor! She assigned my kids tasks when they left to visit the boys and their families! Grace was in charge of “flushing the toilets” and Grant was in charge of “not eating all the chocolate”! And “helping water the plants”. Grace also made sure that the piano was workable during our plant watering, toilet flushing visits! We loved both Carole and Jack and they were great “Alley Neighbors”. Blessings to the entire family and know they will be missed by many!

Jeffrey and Michael.
I was so saddened to learn of your mom’s death. We lost touch shortly after my move to Colorado, but she remained an important friend in my life. I met her when I moved to Ames with my then husband Stew Hinerfeld, who had Aunt Maude’s. Carole’s passion for Children’s Theater influenced me to start Arts and Children Together Shortly after I moved to Marshalltown. I ran that organization for 20 years and consulted with your mom very frequently on finding performers, advice etc.
She was an amazing woman and I’m happy to have known her. My sincere condolences to you both and your families. Susan Hinerfeld Miller

Pat Underwood. I met Carole through the National League of American Pen Women because we mutually loved the arts. She & I would meet for lunch & go shopping together, which was a ball. What a wonderful, amazing friend!
