Carol attended a one-room school house in Coopersville for her elementary school years and then went on to high school at Marywood Academy in Grand Rapids. She completed her education at Lawrence School of Nursing in Lansing where she received her Registered Nurse degree. She enjoyed a diverse and rewarding career in nursing caring for patients in a psychiatric ward, victims of traumatic brain injury, families at the health department, and donors at the blood bank and her most cherished time in the newborn nursery. In her retirement, Carol loved to travel the country with her husband Bill (and their cat Mia) in their motorhome.

She had a passion for NASCAR, was an avid sports fan and enjoyed watching the Tigers, Lions and Red Wings.
