She graduated from Grove City College in Pennsylvania before moving to Charleston, WV. Carole was a member of First Presbyterian Church for over 50 years. In that time, she was active in all phases of worship.

Carole was Chairman of the Worship Committee and served on many Search Committees, and helped with Vacation Bible School and communion preparation. She became an honorary life-member of Presbyterian Women.

For over 30 years, Carole worked at public radio, where she produced an award-winning show called Tuesday’s Child and maintained their web page.

When asked to do a task, she was always there and was always willing. Carole was also active in The Larry Parsons Chorale, West Virginia Symphony chorus, Charleston Civic chorus, Kanawha Players, and Charleston Stage Company.
