Carol lived a remarkable life brimming with many passions, including family, friends, causes, hobbies, continuing education, and interest.
Born in North Platte, NE, into an extended family of do-gooders, she often accompanied her mother and grandmother as they handed out refreshments to soldiers coming through the North Platte Canteen.
When she was a teenager, the family moved to Pocatello, Idaho, where she honed her discussion skills as a member of the debate team and National Honor Society.
Never one to turn down adventure, she posed for a Union Pacific Calendar and postcard, worked summers at the Yellowstone Lodge, and attended Midland College far away from her family.
She married Warren Hansen and they returned to Pocatello, then they moved to Seattle.
She moved to Omaha as a single a mother of three, making the arduous trek east in a 1967 Mustang in the middle of July. Once there, she worked , married Richard Toftness and add a son to their growing family. The family later moved near Washington, DC for a year, and later to Overland Park, Kansas. As a landscape architect, Carol's green thumb and knowledge of horticulture guided those less inclined to achieve a more verdant environment. While in Kansas she returned to school to study Theology and Women's Studies at Avila College across the state line in Missouri.
After graduating, Carol worked for Midwest Bioethics/Center for Practical Bioethics, Midwest Lutheran Ministries.
Carol enjoyed traveling, embraced new experiences and made dear friends in New York, Ireland, and France.
She is survived by her children:
Victoria Coyle
Robert Hansen
