In Memory of Carol Frick

Carol & Dick Frick with Jan Belmore in 2002

It is with great sadness that we announce that Carol Frick, Kids ‘n Kinship founder, passed away on December 8^th, 2014. Carol and her husband Dick started the program in 1972 and because of them thousands of children and youth have benefited from a caring adult mentor. Carol was a truly giving person, who, although she retired from Kids ‘n Kinship 22 years ago, still volunteered helping the program up to the week she died.  Since her retirement from the program, Carol made sure youth received a birthday card and assisted the program with paperwork and newsletter mailings. Carol was a beloved friend and supporter of Kids ‘n Kinship. She will be deeply missed and we are all very grateful that she had the foresight and determination to begin the program.

Carol was honored at the program’s 40^th anniversary in 2012 with a piece of artwork
made from fingerprints of the children in the program.
