Carol started working at Brook Industries in Fond du Lac around 1990 and loved going to work. She would get so excited talking about the new jobs she was learning.

She loved bowling, baseball, camping and of course the Packers. She was a big Packer fan. She did a lot of canvas needle point and gave them away as gifts to everyone she could. She did a lot of reading, drawing and making potholders on a potholder loom. Most of all, she loved Jesus and was very very excited going to church and singing praises to God.

Carol is survived by her sister, Becky Peterson; nephew, Thomas Grennier; niece, Sarah (Theo) Blasczyk; great-nieces and great-nephews, Collin, Romulus, Iroh, Xerxes, and Henry; and her friend and caregiver, Kelli Hughes, who played a huge part in her life..
