From a young age, she had a deep love for dance, studying tap, jazz, and ballet at the Judy Spring School of Dance. Her passion continued after high school as she performed with The Wharton School of Ballet and Vaud-Villities Productions in Columbus, OH.
In 1997, Carol made Lakewood, OH her home. She worked as a consultant with DPAI until 2002. Then in 2003, became co-owner and executive director of Visiting Angels Home Care in Rocky River, OH, where she brought compassion and dedication to her work every day.

Carol’s heart was full of the simple joys of life. She was a devoted fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Cleveland Browns, and she loved the sun, sand, and serenity of the beach. Above all, she treasured time spent with family and friends, creating memories that will be cherished by all who knew her.
