She was a member of Farm Bureau and a lifetime member of United Machinist Union Local 831. She loved evenings dancing to country music with her best buddy, Mick. Carol enjoyed shooting pool, singing, playing steel guitar in her youth, reading books, and watching game shows, especially Wheel of Fortune. Her true love was spending time with her family.
