She excelled in toll painting and taught others to paint through the years. She enjoyed sewing clothes for her children when they were younger. Later in life, she would make her own custom purses and clothing.

Carol loved Pennsylvania and the Amish Dutch Country. She would visit her sister, Eileen, and loved to explore shops. She loved going to the University of Utah athletic events with Bob and the kids while they were growing up. Her children and grandchildren were her pride and joy.
