She was a graduate of Dubuque Senior High School.

Carol worked for the Dubuque Community School District in the library before retiring to watch her grandchildren.

She was a member of Immanuel Congregational United Church of Christ and a member of the church’s women’s fellowship group. She was an avid boater and particularly enjoyed trips down the Mississippi River. She was an adoring grandmother who was active in her grandchildren’s lives, and was a library volunteer at local schools where she read to kids. In her free time, Carol loved watching ice skating, as she had grown up ice skating at Comisky Park. She met her husband at the Eagle Point Roller Rink.   They enjoyed car rides looking at Fall foliage and sitting by the river.  Above all, Carol treasured spending time with her family.
