Sister to Sandra Griffin of Valrico, FL, the late Patricia Marks Collins of New York City, and Jacqueline Taylor of Narragansett, RI. Born in Providence, RI to the late J. Dudley and Alice B.

Carol was a graduate of Hope High School in Providence, and went on to graduate from the Rhode Island Hospital School of Nursing in 1955.

Carol had a lengthy career in nursing, working in the ER at Rhode Island Hospital for several years. After a move to Westwood, she continued working on a part-time basis in local hospitals and pediatric offices, where she was renowned for giving pain-free allergy shots to young patients.

In addition to raising her children, Carol was active in the Town of Westwood where she participated in several local associations and enjoyed bridge, skiing, and cycling. She had a strong interest in the arts, particularly the Boston Ballet and Boston Museum of Fine Arts, where she often said she felt particularly at home visiting its Egyptian collection. In later years in Centerville, she pursued an interest in flying, enjoying glider flights and taking some flying lessons. During all these years, she especially enjoyed spending part of each winter in Naples, FL with her husband and friends.
