Carol met the love of her life, Art, at The Shack, where they shared a passion for dancing and were first brought together. In their younger years, every available weekend was spent on their motorcycle, exploring the United States and Canada. Together they enjoyed local restaurants, getting out in nature, and making new friends along the way, but their favorite thing was to camp out under the stars. Carol's number one claim to fame was that she was the winner of Baby Spokane and always showed her award-winning portrait to all her guests.

Carol had a lifelong passion for crocheting, crafting countless afghans and other items for family and friends. Another interest was bird watching, she had several bird feeders and always kept them full. Carol spent many years working in the accounting department at the Deer Park Hospital before moving to Medical Service Corporation, where she retired. She adored her summers at Sacheen Lake and Reeds Landing, where her mother lived, and where she spent her time swimming and boating.

As the years went on, Carol and Art transitioned to a camper, while still traveling the countryside together. They spent many winters in Arizona, cherishing the Oregon Coast, and often ventured into Canada, with their beloved dogs, Sara and Gracie Rae, by their side. Carol's most treasured saying was: "A place for everything and everything in its place." She lived by these words, and her life was a testament to order, love, and joy. She leaves behind countless memories, handmade treasures, and family and friends that will miss her beyond measure.
