I worked at DSS with Mrs. Lathers on Wood Dale Blvd. In Baton Rouge. She was a sweet soul. May she rest in Jesus! My condolences to the family. 🙏
Prayers to her Family & Friends
I worked with Carol for several years. She was a sweetheart. My deepest sympathy to her family. Prayers for comfort.
With deepest Sympathy! Our thoughts and prayers are with the family!
I too worked with Carol Lathers on Wood Dale. She never had a bad word for anyone. She tried to comfort her clients, and end up working late a lot of days. What a lovely Lady she was. Family, God has a great Lady to let in Heaven’s door. Rest sweet Carol, Rest on.
My prayers and love, to Carol ‘s family along with my thanks for sharing this beautiful person with me, for most of my life.
I worked with Mrs. Lathers at DCFS and I missed working with her. She was one of the sweetest ladies I know. RIP.
Condolences to her family. We were coworkers at DCFS. She had such a beautiful spirit. Rest in peace.

My dear sister is gone. I will always miss her. I can remember when we were baptized by Rev. Freddie Williams. He told us to never give up on God, cherish life, and family. She was always willing to help until her health declined.I will always cherish her. Rest on Cal there is no more suffering. Until we meet again Linda
