Carol lived an amazing life. She was a transcriber and office manager for over 30 years for Harry who was a court reporter. When they retired she became an avid quilter and loved to work in her garden.  After Harry passed, she began traveling and attending live theatre. Well into her 80s and 90s she visited Hawaii, Oregon, Chicago, Wisconsin, England, Germany, and Ireland. She enjoyed family holidays, especially the cooking and baking. She would always make her famous cheesecake for family events to the delight of all family and guests.She loved children and loved spending time with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She had a deep love for the many hummingbirds and butterflies that frequented her garden. 

Carol grew up in Los Angeles and moved to the San Fernando Valley in the 1940s. She lived in the same house Van Nuys (Sherman Oaks) until 1999 when she moved to San Diego to be closer to family. It was then she began watching baseball and was even able to attend a special Padre baseball game in the owners' box when she was 102.
