Carol graduated from Beardstown High School with the Class of 1966. Following graduation, she spent a short time working at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield before dedicating herself to raising her family. Later, she worked at St. John's Hospital as the personal secretary to Dr. William Zimmer. She retired in 2013 to help care for her husband.

Carol loved traveling with Chuck and treasured the memories they made together. She was an avid reader, enjoyed flower gardening, especially tending her African violets, and never missed an opportunity to donate blood. She also enjoyed making homemade caramel and was well known for her angel food cake with caramel icing, a favorite at birthdays and family celebrations. Her unwavering faith guided her throughout her life and was evident in the way she served her church, family, and community. She was a faithful member of Beardstown Church of the Nazarene and was instrumental in the ministry of Iglesia del Nazareno Libertad, serving on both church boards, stewardship committees, and as church treasurer. Above all, Carol cherished her family. She shared a special bond with her children and grandchildren, taking great pride in their lives and accomplishments. Her love, encouragement, and steadfast faith will remain a lasting legacy for those who knew and loved her.
