Carol Nancy Skalstad

You will always be part of my memories of Kongsberg. A special person in a special place. Rest in peace.

Men minnene får vi beholde, til lindring når savnet er stort! ️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Carol.
Carol du var som en mor for meg. Du tenkte alltid, bekymret og sjekket på meg. Jeg fikk kjærlighet som en mor fra deg. Jeg takker Gud for at Jeg ble kjent med deg da jeg først kom til Kongsberg. Jeg er heldig for at jeg ble en del av familien din. Jeg har ikke nok ord å si om deg Carol.
Takk for alt.
Hvil i fred Carol. I never forget you, always inn our hearts.

Your kindness knew no bounds. Thank you for being my teacher - you taught me more than English and for that I am truly grateful. Your graduation poem will always stick with me. You will be missed.

Takk for de herlige møtene gjennom mange år i vår kjære engelskgruppe og hos felles venninne. Disse treffene betydde mye for meg. Jeg vil savne ditt nære og gode samvær og alle morsomme episoder vi skapte sammen.

We think of you as always smiling, always laughing. Holidays with you there were an extra joy. How lucky were we all to have had you in our world.

Takk for gode minner, kjære Carol, vil savne deg️

Det er med sorg i hjertet vi skriver noen ord for å minnes vår kjære svigerinne. Vi er blitt kjent med Carol gjennom mange år. Vi husker henne som en engasjert og varm kvinne. Hun utmerket seg i mellommenneskelig forhold og var flink til å bygge relasjoner. Gjennom handlinger og engasjement viste hun stor innsikt når hun beveget seg i flere kulturer. Hun var fordomsfri og behandlet alle med verdighet. Vi har gode minner om at hun levde etter prinsippet om at kjærligheten er vennlig og uselvisk. Vi kan se tilbake på mange gode stunder og kommer til å savne hennes smil, fortrolige samtaler og hyggelige opplevelser på Kongsberg og Geithus både til lands og til vanns.

My lovely, sweet Aunty taken too quick. May your energy for life be in us all. Our thoughts are also with Terje, Paul and my mum. All our love, Kev, Lynsey, Jake & Maisey xx

Carol, tusen takk for alt. Hvil i fred.

You were the essence of joy and kindness.
You loved people and my goodness they loved you.
Family, friends, colleagues, students. They loved you through and through.
You were inclusive, effusive, interested and with care.
Your strong opinions entwined with unlimited tolerance.
You spread yourself, but never thin like Marmite.
You spread yourself with such huge dollops of generosity and goodwill.
It was impossible not to feel the thrill
Of being alive when you were there. Such a care.

Work, travel, languages and love.
Translation, teaching, Amnesty, Red Cross,
Family, children, blessings from above.
Swimming, skiing, cycling and core,
So active and vital, even when sore.

And when grief came to your home you mourned with grace.
Your work continued, your shoulder replaced.
Again, you taught us. Put on a brave face.
Passionate, determined in all that you did.
You showed us your laughter, but the darkness you hid.

Barbecues, badminton, holidays in the sun,
A glass of wine, a game of Scrabble, always seeking fun.
Theatre, cinema, a really good book,
I love food, but dont ask me to cook!
Salmon leaping, Christmas carols,
Salt on tomatoes, a vegetable garden.
I need my glasses. Oh, this computer!!
A scarf and shoes for every occasion.
Gifted in the art of persuasion.

We say goodbye with a hug and a kiss
A million thanks for a life well lived. May we follow and remember this
Wisdom from one of our smallest.

Carol, du har alltid vært et fantastisk menneske; hjertevarmt, initiativrik og raus. Du har alltid hatt min fulle respekt, både profesjonelt og privat. Dette er et stort tap for mange! Hvil i fred.

Carol,we met on our first day of teaching in 1970 and immediately became friends.Our friendship has often been long distance but always close. Recent long chats on skype have been filled with fun and laughter.Goodbye my lovely friend.

Your kindness, warmth and zest for life were inspiring. So family orientated, thoughtful and generous. We will never forget the lengths you went to so you could be at our wedding in Barbados. Rest in peace and never forgotten.

Hvil i fred kjære Carol. Du vil bli savnet her, nederst i Tangenveien.

Carol, you have had such an important place in our lives and the lives of so many people. We have loved your energy, your passion, and your strength and the world will be a poorer place without you. Thank you for your love, care and friendship. We will miss you always and take comfort from remembering all the wonderful times we shared and the love you gave us.
Dear friend, you will always be in our hearts.
Jill and Richard

Kjære Carol.
Vårt bekjentskap ble kort, men du etterlater deg ett stort tomrom. Du vil bli savnet i brukerrådet.
En siste hilsen fra Jannike.

Carol, there are so many fond memories of our time together. You were always such an inspiring character and I was always in awe of your energy.
Rest in Peace dear friend

My very dear big sister - too many memories to write here. Far away but so near. There is a big hole left in my heart. Youll be with me forever. Rest in peace, my love.

Carol, it was an absolute privilege to know you and to work with you. Your energy, professionalism and dedication were an inspiration to all. You gave me your compassion in tough times. I'll miss your laugh and your spirited nature but it's comforting to think that you're with Kai now.
You were taken too soon but you've touched me as I know you've touched so many others, and you'll be forever in my heart.

Your were always so passionate about the things and people you cared for. It was such a joy to know you. You will be missed. RIP.

Du hadde dette befriende andre perspektivet på ting, det unorske. Jeg kjenner ingen med så mye livsglede og sosialt engasjement som deg. Det er urettferdig, livet er urettferdig. Med tida skal jeg glede meg over alle gode minner; alle svømmeøkter, spillekvelder, kulturopplevelser og livsvisdom fra din side. Jeg er takknemlig for at jeg fikk lære deg å kjenne. Du er elsket.
