Carol Chiles, a longtime Pitt employee, died tragically early Thursday morning. Carol played a crucial role in the day-to-day operations and behind-the-scenes work of this ice cream stand. She was an aunt and close friend to many. She loved to laugh heartily with her friends and had a lovely smile.
Carol Chiles was a valued member of the Pete's Ice Cream family and the larger community in addition to being an employee. Everyone who came to the stand was delighted by her infectious laugh and radiant smile. Whether she was helping her co-workers in the background or handing out scoops of ice cream on a hot summer day, her dedication and love was evident in everything she did.
A life of joy and service
Chiles has worked for Pete's Ice Cream for a long time, and her efforts went far beyond what was expected of her. She was known for her generosity and willingness to help others, and was instrumental in creating a friendly and inviting environment at the booth. Her ability to remember their favorite flavors and her knack for making everyone feel special are fondly remembered by her regular customers.
“Carol was the soul of this place,” commented a veteran professional who asked to remain anonymous. She had a way of relating to people that left them feeling close. Her warmth, laughter and steadfast support will be missed.

The local community is shocked by the news of her death. Many locals have shared their memories of Carol on social media, expressing their grief and sharing anecdotes that demonstrate her giving nature. She was a cornerstone in the community, always ready to lend a listening ear or a word of encouragement, as friends and clients remember her.
