Carol met Bill while studying Home Economics at Eastern Illinois University. He introduced her to his family and the Catholic Church. Her love of both was a cornerstone for the rest of her life. She and Bill were married in 1958. In short order they settled in Petersburg, IL. There they built their family. The farm called Bill and they moved to Tuscola. She loved to play the piano. Once the kids were out of the house, she pursued her passion of helping others in to the Catholic faith as RCIA coordinator for many years.
Carol took great joy in cats, family and spending time with her many friends.
