My condolences to the family.. I knew her as a child. Praying for strength for the family.
Mrs. McLeod was such a blessing to me and I feel very blessed to have known her. I didn't know how much she would impact my life when I was selected as a recipient for the McLeod college scholarship. I appreciate her many prayers, kind words, and for keeping in touch with me throughout college and beyond. Wow! She didn't have to be so gracious but I learned quickly thats just who she was. I admire her big heart and all she did for her community, she definitely walked what she talked. She was a very admirable woman and I will continue to make her proud. Thank you for everything Mrs. McLeod and to Mr. McLeod, I appreciate your kindness too! I'm glad Bruce is there for you. Take care!
So sorry to hear about this David and family! Great memories of the both of you in Temple Church growing up. Peace be with you!
Quantity and quality are hallmarks of a life well lived.
Carol had quantity by her giving more than she received. She had a quality life because of how she connected to others and her mission. I know this to be true. Carol and Dave connected with me immediately upon my arrival to the land called Muskegon. It was their connection that kept me and my family steady. And oh! the laughter- game of spoons, Bill Knapps, boating and yes; Carol’s pranks involving plastic bugs!! It was a meaningful connection with the McLeods. Thank you Carol for a beautiful friendship! Our connection will continue through Dave and Bruce! Softly weeping with you...

For an 😇...
Remembering music for a wonderful friend who will most certainly be a member of Larry’s heavenly choir! Carol use to tell him she was going to join his choir, but was unable to carry a tune. (Not true, and she knew hymns by rote :)...then Larry would reciprocate with a jovial comment. A couple of mornings ago, words in jest awakened me: “Tell Carol I need someone to distribute choir music!” (So typical of Larry’s humorous remarks to her!) They were good friends and she appreciated his conducting, along with the vocal performances, complementing him after each service at Temple UMC. Yes, many will shed tears for the loss of such a good friend—she sent many beautiful cards over the years and ours are saved to hold the memories! One card received shortly before her death, held special meaning for me: “To pity distress is human...To relieve it is Godlike...Lord, teach me to laugh, but never let me forget that I cried”. Thank you, Carol, for your caring, your generosity shown to many—Supper House at Temple Methodist Church serves daily dinners to those less fortunate, and is a major part of her legacy...She lived her life putting others and family before herself and shared her religious thoughts in her many cards...her humor was a natural gift as well: And I just remembered, to prove her point that she was unable to sing well, Carol gave Larry a copy of her kindergarten report from her principal, revealing all A’s except in music and Rhythm!!!!!! You are missed Carol and may your love of a merciful God be with us always. Heartfelt thoughts to you, Dave, and your family,

Carol was the sweetest lady with such a great sense of humor. I loved her laughter - her wonderful laugh will never be forgotten. Our family shared holidays together every year during my childhood and I loved spending time at The McLeod's playing games, pinball and pool. She is truly one of life's gems and will be very sadly missed. Dave, Bruce and Jackie, we are so very sorry for your loss of such a wonderful lady.

We are so grateful to have known Carol through shared ministry in Muskegon - first during our time at Ravenna UMC and now at Lake Harbor UMC. Her deep faith and passion for the Gospel has influenced so many people, including us, in lasting ways. We offer our sympathy to you in this difficult time.
Grace and peace,

Carol and my Mom Carolyn , were best of friends for years! My Grandma was her neighbor and friend also! Bruce and I spent many crazy card game and treat nights together at my Grandmas! So much fun!
I continued a very close bond with Carol after my Mom passed away. We would meet for lunch and talk for 2 hours or more! Catching up on everything ! We both enjoyed those lunches so much ! She was beautiful part of my Mom that I still had left! We had a mutual love for each other and very close relationship, which was so special to me! I will miss her so much!
Our to love to you Mr. McLeod, Bruce and Jackie. She will always be a very special lady to all that knew her, with a heart so full of love and kindness!

Isobel Herbert - Carol and I started to become friends in our 20’s when we adopted children at the same time. Since we only lived a block apart from each other in Roosevelt Park we became close friends. We went through a lot together with our kids and grew very close, doing all sorts of things together. She was one of my best friends and she will forever be missed. I send prayers and love to the family and friends who had the chance to be in her life and love her the way i did.
Dave - You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time of sorrow. You and Carol were such dear friends of Peg and Ray - Bob's sister and brother in-law for so many years and also Bob's sister in-law Elaine. We are so grateful for all that Carol did for Peg and Ray.
