Carol was born June 3, 1936 to Edwin and Erna Cude Reifel. She grew up in the Heights area and was a life-long member of the Lutheran Church; most recently St. Mark’s Lutheran in the Spring Branch area where she served as a greeter, in LWML and the Ladies Circle. Carol’s career includes 26 years with Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in accounting and ticket sales. She participated on several committees and served on Ladies Season Box which later became the Trailblazer Committee. Carol retired in 2002 and enjoyed her family, her church, traveling and sewing. She was always ready for a trip, whether it was to a new destination or a familiar one. She loved and taught sewing and quilt-making skills to the Girl Scout troop from St. Mark’s and also shared those skills with many of her friends. Carol was always ready to share her time, talent and treasure with anyone who needed her. She made everyone she met feel like they were her best friend.
