Berthel taught at Holmes Junior High School - now Holmes Middle School - for nine years and at Morehead High School for 11.
Leola Meador, a secretary at Morehead, remembers Carol well.
"She worked in the vocational home economics when she was at Holmes, and when she came over here she taught home economics," said Meador. "She was nice, bubbly, jolly, sweet, lovable, bouncy - a neat lady."
