Carol Cole

Carol Cole was never sick in her life, but last week suddenly learned she had an advance cancerous spot on her lung. Timolin tells press: “Our sister Cookie hadn’t been to a doctor in 30 years, and last week she went in and they found a cancerous spot on her lung. They had wanted to start chemo right away, but Cookie said no.”
Suddenly as Natalie and Timolin were comforting Carol, Natalie got a call that her liver transplant she had been waiting for was ready. Natalie was unwilling to leave Carol. Timolin told Natalie that Cookie would want her to do the procedure. Natalie did, it was a success, and when she emerged, Cookie had passed. The singer was by her older sister's side when she learned that a donor organ had become available.

She appeared on "The Nat King Cole Show" on television in the 1950s. She also appeared in movies in the 1960s and 70s.
