Born May 7, 1944, in Pittsburgh, she was the daughter of the late Carl Llewellyn and Florence Jackson Giddings.
Carol was a volunteer with Girl Scouts as well as Head Start. She began her career in the mail department of Heinz, she then worked for Reymer's Blennd, where she was promoted to secretary. She was an excellent typist and was employed as one by Ketchem, Maclead and Grove.

In her free time, Carol enjoyed reading, cooking, and collecting Christmas ornaments.
