Carole was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin on November 4th, 1938 to Arthur and Margaret Laehn and was one of two children, along with her brother David Laehn who she remained very close with her entire life. Carole was named Miss Ripon and was first runner up in the Miss Wisconsin pageant. She was also active in modeling. She was an accomplished pianist, doing work for the Wurlitzer corporation. She also loved cooking and was involved with many gourmet clubs. She enjoyed hosting parties for her friends and community and particularly adored Christmas.
