RIP Carol...I will miss you. You were one of the best clients and it was good having as a friend. I just heard of your passing or I would have been at your memorial...
Almost 500,000 riders!
The best years of her life, Mom always looked forward to driving her kids...
So many times the children of our community have looked to Carol Ponke for their safe bus rides.
With 40-60 kids twice day for 180 school days,
and those weekly sports and field trips too...
She really enjoyed safely driving her children for 27 years with the Algonac and Cardinal Mooney Catholic schools.
Always a Muskrat who proudly rooted for her Cardinals!
Thank you Mrs. Ponke = Thank's MOM PONKE!
p.s. And for a few years she even drove an old Ford bus with a stick shift with no complaints! She would back it into the driveway periodically at their home in Algonac and her husband Leroy would ultra clean it and check it over for her, as he always supported and helped Mom.
Then whenever she would leave Dad would always say to Mom:
"Watch Yourself"
Love,
Stevie
Sweet Aunt Carol,
My heart aches to know that you are no longer with us. My memories of you are joyous and beautiful, although we only shared a few. Thank you for all of the love you have shown your family. You will always be a rockstar in my eyes.
