Carol was a passionate reader and enjoyed playing board games with her friends and family. She loved being social and held many close friendships throughout her life. She traveled any chance she got and looked forward to the opportunity to attend local plays and ballets. Community was important to Carol.

It was not unusual for Carol to have a science fiction or action movie on the television when guests stopped by.
