Carol Hartley Allie was and always will be a key figure in my life due to her generosity, kind heart and commitment to continuing education.
Her passion for learning and pursuit of knowledge played a big part in my success, and for that I will always be grateful and cherish forever.
After receiving a doctorate in Higher Education, Aunt Carol went on to work at the University of Arkansas in 1976. Thanks to her, I am a graduate of the University of Arkansas. Thinking back of our times together, Aunt Carol played a big part in my life during my time at the University. Aunt Carol offered me a place to stay during my first semester. After moving to live on campus, Aunt Carol never failed to support and encourage me. I would visit her every Sunday to spend time together, enjoy a sporting event on television and a nice home cooked meal.
It is my hope that I have passed on the support and encouragement to others that she gave to me.
You will never be forgotten.
You will always be in our hearts and prayers.
May you rest in peace.
Bob Hartley
