After graduating from Holy Family and St. Agnes high school, she completed registered nurses training at St. Mary’s. She married Thomas J.

Carol is remembered by her family (and all the charities that still send calendars) as generous and kind. She consistently enriched those around her as wife, mother, nurse, neighbor and friend. We will miss her big heart, thoughtful advice and laughter.
