Carol Durfey

Carol was the last child of Vilate and Oak Durfey. Debbie, her daughter, recorded the video of Carol telling her life story. I am grateful to Debbie for digitizing the video and allowing me to have a copy. With her permission, I share it.

The information about Carol is from a family narrative I wrote "Gone Too Soon: Eva Vilate Durfey" I thought it might give some context to her scrapbook.
