Carol spent her formative years in Panguitch where she made friends and had numerous adventures, including working at the Flying M Café and at the Rexall drug store with her sister, Arlene. She enjoyed dances at the old airport hangar in Bryce Canyon and the open-air dance hall in Panguitch. When she was a junior in high school, she moved with her family to St. George, Utah.

Carol attended Dixie High School and Junior College where she met her husband, Carl Lenzi Moss, Jr. She was active in debate at Dixie High School.
