Carol worked for many years at the Margenau Drug Store and also Boelter's Jewelry Store.

She enjoyed the long friendship she shared with her high school friends, her friends from Boelter's, the Gems (friends she and Andy had made when they moved to Escanaba, Michigan after they married in 1950), and the many good times they had together. Carol loved her garden and liked to read a good

Cremation has taken place at the Harrigan Parkside Crematory and Chapel, and Carol will be laid to rest at the Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc.
