Carol was born and raised in Kewanee, Illinois where she attended high school, raised her family, and then relocated to West Palm Beach, Florida over forty years ago where she made Florida her home. She made her career in the hotel and hospitality industry. She held various accounting and managerial roles for The Breakers, The Ritz-Carlton and PGA National. Many of her earlier hobbies and passions included playing the piano since childhood, her love of dance and ballroom dancing where she competed in numerous competitions. She was an avid tennis player, an excellent seamstress, a fabulous cook and loved to collect and try new recipes. Carol had a sense of adventure, loved to travel, and try new things. Her beautiful smile, her infectious laugh and spirit could light up a room and her sense of style and fun always shone through in everything she did. She loved to socialize and treated her friends like the family they were, as well as her love and devotion to her pets.
