Within a few years, the family would be among the first to settle in Orangeburg. Carol attended Tappan Zee High School, followed by Indiana University. But Carol had set her sights on taking her extensive knowledge of languages and travelling the world. Carol loved to land in a country new to her and set out to meet people, make new friends, and soak up local culture. Carol became fascinated with the healing powers of Reiki, eventually becoming a Reiki Master and Health Coach. A truly caring and compassionate person, Carol always looked for the good in others. Carol was predeceased by her mother, Lillian, and her youngest sister, Judy. She is survived by her father, Ben Roujansky, brother Daniel (Arlene), and sister Sue. Sue spent much of the last decade travelling between her New Mexico home and Carol's California bedside, assisting in her care.
