Carol Reid Gill, 65, of Morrison, Colo., peacefully passed away from complications of appendiceal cancer on March 15, 2013, lovingly surrounded by her family. She had fought that pernicious disease for four years. She was born on May 11, 1947, in Charlottesville, Va.
After Carol was graduated from Lane High School, Class of 1965, she attended Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pa., where she met her husband-to-be, George Gill. They married on March 28, 1968, and by September, she became a military wife for the next four years.
George is the son of deceased lawyer of Fremont, Lyle B. Gill.
Professionally, Carol initially lobbied for the Colorado/Wyoming Petroleum Marketers Association, attending legislative sessions in Denver for many years. She later became a manager for the State of Colorado, Department of Labor and Employment, Oil Inspection Section. In 1999, she was awarded Colorado State Manager of the Year, for excellence in both management and service to state government. In a ceremony, Bill Owens, then governor of the State of Colorado, presented her with the award.
Returning to college in 2005, she completed her course work in 2007, and received a bachelor of science degree in business administration from Regis University, summa cum laude. Her facility for analyzing management techniques prompted her to develop a treatise on management and a seminar course she had virtually completed before her death.
Carol was a gifted story teller who delighted her grandchildren as well as adults with her imaginative creations. She wrote beautiful poetry and children’s short stories. She avidly studied Chinese poetry and invested herself in learning Mandarin Chinese.
For years, Carol enthusiastically participated in Willowbrook’s Friday Morning Book Club, in Morrison, Colo., and found fascinating the informed minds, thoughtful responses, and depths of experience of its members.
Yet with all her accomplishments, Carol primarily cherished her family. She nurtured and shaped her sons making them the men they are today. She inspired and sustained her husband with her dazzling intellect, creativity, and wit. To her family, she was fiercely loyal.
