Carol was a 1957 graduate of the Rhode Island School of Nursing and recently attended the 50th reunion of her nursing class. A navy wife for thirty years and a resident of Jacksonville for eighteen of those years, Carol resided in Florahome since 1990, where she enjoyed camping, traveling, retirement and being an active member of the Florahome United Methodist Church.
