Condolences
The family of Carol Lynn Dougherty has received the following condolences.
Brian and Family. I came to know your mother through her love of the game of golf but more dear to me, through her love of gardening. In the Fall of 2012, a group of volunteers gathered at Carol & Ken's home to help remove a number of grasses and perennials to use for future gardens at Eastwood Golf Course. It was a raw September day, but we were warmed by your mother's hot coffee and pastry as we worked together removing a truck load of plants. To this day, volunteers help to maintain the garden beds on the "Back 9". Now that your mother and Ken are gone, the gardens on Hole 12 & 13 will continue to be cared for and the generous gift of plants will be enjoyed by the public. If you would like to visit the gardens this summer, please contact the staff at Eastwood and I would be happy to show you around and honor Carol and Ken's generous gift.
Sincerely, Jane Barton
Brian and family, Her most difficult journey with her disease, has ended, and now she is on her best journey. She was a great friend and wonderful business partner, and she has left us with so many great memories, and may those memories carry always be with you. Rest In Peace my beautiful friend!
I am so sorry to see about Carols death. We had a lot of fun times in our early days of golf at the city courses. I will remember her great smile. I lost track of her when we moved to Tucson but will keep the memories of our special times together?
Sending my thoughts and prayers. Carol was a beautiful lady, a great golfer and a fun person to be with. She will be missed. Rest In Peace Carol.
