Carole attended Prairie High School. She took lessons and played the accordion as a teen. Then Carole traveled to many European counties, northern Africa, Iran and Switzer-land, and much of the United States. She later settled in Arizona, where she was a member of the Palmbrooke Golf Club. Carole was a member of the Moose Lodge and had a real estate license, as well as being a pharmacy technician. She spent many years driving across the United States, occasionally working at RV and campsites.

Known for her quick wit, ready smile and kind heart, Carole made friends wherever she went. Carole enjoyed travel, ice cream, golfing and puzzles. She loved animals; however, family was the most important thing in Carole's life.
