Carol enjoyed music, cooking shows, and watching reruns of Sanford and Son, Judge Mathis, and movies. Carol was a CMA for Piedmont Health, an awesome Bingo player who had a wicked sense of humor and a deep belly laugh. She was loved by many and a devoted lover of family.

She leaves behind two beloved sons, Jordan Phipps (Michelle) and Kerry Sanford Jr.; her grandchildren, Jordan Phipps Jr., Jayden Phipps, and Paris Phipps; her father, Robert Bailey (Jewell); her older brother, Dr. Anthony Bailey, and younger twin sisters, Kathy Hines (Clarkston) and Merry Absher; as well as additional beloved siblings, Jackie Dalton (Terry), Timothy Bailey, Sierra Barrow, Josh Harris and Matthew Bailey.
