Carol's life was marked by the loving and spirited gentleness that endeared her to all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Her commitment to her community was evident in her long-standing membership at the Zion’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of Greensburg and the former member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Scottdale, there she served on the church altar guild. There, she found solace, strength, and fellowship. Carol's gentle spirit and unwavering faith were sources of inspiration to many within her church family. Professionally, Carol was known for her caring demeanor and diligent work ethic during her tenure as a telephone operator with Bell Telephone Company. Her time spent connecting people at both the Scottdale and Greensburg offices was more than just a career.
