Carol Tiger was the one person everyone should have had the pleasure of meeting. She embraced life to the fullest seeking out the best in others and to share their happiness and joy. When Carol walked into a room she brought a keen wit, articulate, well versed in a variety of timely topics, joyous, embracing and spreading goodwill with all.. The Ksanznak Family and the Tiger Family shared a dynamic friendship throughout our lives, The K children held Carol in deep respect and admiration. They felt she was always there with a hug and kind words and to put band aids on their hurts. As Principal of the Ben Franklin School, Carol helped me to implement the Great Books Program in our Library. She quickly found a host of mothers to work with her to make this program a showcase in the school district. When we expanded our classrooms to add Classroom Assistants all the Primary Teachers wanted Carol Tiger assigned to their classroom. We had the good fortune of spending summer vacations in Long Beach Island with the Tiger Family. When we were on the beach, Carol would be organizing games of whiffle baseball, flag football, soccer games, surfboard contests and then sharing her recent novel readings with the adults. At any given moment the K family loving the JETS would have an interesting verbal exchange about the demise of her favorite, NY GIANYS. One of my precious memories of Carol was when Spider Lockhart of the NY GIANTS, and one of Carol's favorite players was at our house on Barnett Road. I had Spider Lockhart call Carol on the phone and thank her for being a loyal fan. Carol was in awe and shock for a week! She loved watching professional sports but her greatest interest was in the Lawrence Township sports programs, She was a fixture at soccer, baseball, football and basketball games not only cheering for the Tiger or Ksanznak players but for all the Lawrence Twp players. Carol was bigger than Life and will always be with us. At some time, in the future, we will all remember her heartfelt laughter, charming smile, abundance of curiosity, bundles of energy, willingness to help those most in need of help and comfort, engaging personality and leaving us as better people because we knew and loved her. The Good Lord is welcoming a very talented and loving woman who will bring even more joy and happiness to the heavenly body to share with our loved ones and departed friends.
