She went to high school and graduated in Parsons Kansas.

She enjoyed quilting, reading, taking walks, cooking and spending time with family. One of the things she loved the most was to shop and buy presents and gifts year-round for her family. They meant everything to her.

She loved traveling and had taken trips to Hawaii, London and Paris as well as many trips to Iowa, Texas and Colorado to visit family.

A moment in her late thirties a man she knew picked her up in a chair and dance around the floor with her. She said she had never felt so feminine.

Carole was the most genuine, generous person, that appreciated everyone.
