The home performance industry lost a friend with the recent passing of Carol Markell.  Carol died unexpectedly on Thursday, July 19, in the company of her closest friends while on vacation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

In announcing her passing Home Energy stated:

As Home Energy’s Advertising and Marketing Manager for over a decade, Carol developed relationships with scores of Home Performance industry professionals and advertisers, networking at conferences and in countless phone calls, Facebook posts, and Tweets. In so doing,  helped grow the home performance community as well as the success of Home Energy magazine.

Carol held much of the magazine’s history within her very fine mind and her good counsel will be irreplaceable. We have no doubt that she will be missed in the wider community as much as she will be missed here at Home Energy.

Carol was a strong supporter of RESNET and a fixture at many of the RESNET Building Performance Conferences.  RESNET’s staff will miss her dedication and enthusiasm.

Home Energy invites anyone who knew Carol to share your thoughts in her memory by posting on the Home Energy Blog at http://www.homeenergy.org/show/blog/id/284/nav/blog
