Mattawan State Hospital as a nurse before relocating to Maryland. She worked at
Med-Star Washington Hospital Center for the last 38 years, before retiring in
November 2016. Carol was baptized and a member of the Ebenezer Baptist Church,
in Newburgh, NY under the late Rev. Burton. She is currently a member of Reid’s
Temple AME Zion Church under Rev. Lee P. Washington, Pastor. Carol loved
reading, trying new recipes, traveling; she loved her many plants inside and
outside and spending time with her family. Carol was a loving wife, mother,
aunt, devoted sister and mentor to many young nurses she has trained over the
years. She leaves to cherish fond memories, her loving husband, Charles; her
sons, Colin Augustus Bates (Jocelyn) and Charles Bates Jr.; one sister, Sharon
