Carol was an alumna of Indiana State University (Class of 1955) and taught kindergarten until she chose to be a stay at home mother for her five children. She earned the distinction of becoming a Life Master at bridge and truly enjoyed the game her entire adult life. She was a warm, funny woman with a keen intelligence. She “had a heart as big as the outdoors” and will truly be missed.
