Caroline was an inspiration, She was determined to learn saxophone “properly” not just play tunes.  She achieved her goal of performing Baker Street which is no mean feat.  I worked with Caroline for many years and always looked forward to the energy and positivity she brought to the sessions.  Our relationship grew from student/teacher to friendship and we never met without laughing. …

I met Caroline approx 4 years ago not long after she interviewed me and offered me the job!  We immediately got on well and found a lot in common particularly in regards to our families and personal interests in house renovation.  Her management approach I also noticed was quite different to anyone I’d worked for before.  She was very supportive and thoughtful in the way she managed me as she was with all her team.  Even though after a year I was moved to a different manager, Caroline and I continued meeting.  I got to meet Lola who featured a fair bit in discussions and Caroline got to meet my cats.  We shared house renovation updates on camera as we happened to both be doing them at the same time.  I recall Caroline saying how happy she was with her kitchen and other rooms as she progressed though the house.  For Caroline though the most important was her family.  Being close to them and seeing them as often as she could was most important to her.   I will miss Caroline dearly.  She was a kind and thoughtful person who found the funny side of life.  She was one …

I worked with Caroline and I will miss her dearly. She was an inspirational role model and I will never forget the impact she had on me both professionally and personally. No matter what she was going through she always showed genuine care and had a kind word for everyone she encountered. She was full of light and laughter and immediately brightened any room she entered. Thank you for everything Caroline, we will miss you 🤍 …

I’ve worked with Caroline for the last five years – officially I was her boss, but in reality she was my coach, support and extremely sensible colleague who thrived on delivering difficult stuff under pressure, always with a smile and her trademark chuckle.   Caroline was without ego – she had three criteria as to what work she did  – (1) make a difference; (2) work with people with integrity (3) do interesting stuff.   I believe this summed her up.   Working through covid times meant we got to know more about Caroline – Lola barking at Amazon delivery drivers and her deep and clear affection for her children, grandchildren and family. She was so proud of everyone and I recognise that our loss professionally won’t compare with that of those closest to her.   I’ve had a couple of cancer treatments myself which only deepened my connection with her – her support and empathy awaiting scan results and treatment plans was more valuable than she’d ever know.   I will miss her terribly and on behalf of her colleagues at bp (where she spent the past 18 years) I wanted to offer sincerest condolences and pay our …

When I first met Carol I thought “wow Stacie’s mum is so cool.” She was glam, calm, collected and wise. Stacie and I spent many evenings at Carol’s whilst we were at uni, always being looked after and made to feel at home. Carol was so incredibly warm, generous and fun. I don’t think we ever stopped laughing on those evenings and Carol made me feel like part of the family.   She was the most amazing, dedicated mum to her daughters and most amazing nanny to her gorgeous grandchildren. I haven’t met a mother and daughter trio as close and Carol, Lianne and Stacie. She will be so missed.   Carol’s spirit lives on through her daughters and grandchildren who are just as special, fun and kind as her. I am so grateful to have known her and to have spent time with her.   I am so sorry I cannot be there to see Carol off. I will be thinking of you all and will raise a glass of wine as I know she will be doing looking down on you all.   Sending so much love to all of Carol’s family, parents (Eric and Barbara) and …

Very sad to hear the news of Caroline passing away. Our paths crossed when I returned from maternity leave having my first child and gave sound advice returning and being a working mum. She was a well respected and a great colleague to work alongside in the project management profession here at bp. My heart goes out to her family and are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.

Caroline was such a welcoming person; I know I felt apprehensive when first meeting her, but she was so open and down to earth she put me at ease straight away. I loved how reasonable and easy to laugh she was, at herself and the moment. I was always very happy when she joined a meeting because I knew she would bring a shed load of common sense with her. I wish I knew her longer she was such a lovely genuine person, I feel privileged to have worked with her. My heart hurts for your loss …
