As well, Carol is survived by several loving nieces and nephews and their families.

Carol grew up in St. Louis and attended Lutheran School then went on to Junior College. She decided to spread her wings and moved to Detroit where she worked as a reservationist for United Airlines, she then transferred to San Franscisco, then to Washington, DC. In 1967, Carol and her husband, at the time, returned to St. Louis to care for her father ~ she then began working for Delta Airlines. Working for the airlines afforded Carol to travel to several destinations such as Germany, Portugal, England, Greece and Hawaii.

In the fall of 1985, Carol and her family finally settled on Cape Cod where she lived for the remainder of her life.

Anyone that knew Carol knew that her five grandchildren, whom affectionately referred to her as 'GaGa', were the absolute lights of her life and any moments she spent with them were completely cherished by Carol ~ when the grandkids were toddlers and babies she would care for them a couple times a week for each of her daughters ~ as she grew older and no longer could drive, the grandkids would visit her at Cape Cod Senior Residences.

Living at Cape Cod Senior Residences brought such joy to Carol. She was a member of the Hospitality Committee and always enjoyed the special monthly dinner highlighting a particular country and its' cuisine. All the staff at the Residences are so caring and she and her family felt so blessed to have her live there.

My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints in the sand, it was then that I carried you”. Footprints in the Sand ~ Author Unknown
