She attended Atwater High School and then graduated from college with an LVN license. She met an airman from Castle Air Force Base and they married and had a daughter, Julie. Carole pursued a career in nursing, both bedside and later in the field of medical insurance authorization. After Julie married and had a child, it was Carole's joy to move to Sacramento to be a Nana to her grandson, Aidan. Carole had two best friends in high school who went everywhere together, even triple-dated!

After her retirement, she volunteered for Hospice and at her church in their funeral luncheon ministry.
