Carol dedicated much of her life to supporting individuals in need through her work in crisis intervention and counseling. She provided compassionate care and guidance at the Crisis Triage Center and the Department of Veterans Affairs in Spokane, Washington. Her deep commitment to service extended into her volunteer work with the Sisters of Providence Hospital, where she offered hospice bereavement support to patients and families during their most difficult times.

Before entering the field of social services, Carol built a successful career in the banking industry, where she was admired for her professionalism, integrity, and dedication.

Carol is lovingly remembered by her brother, Charlie Rhodes; her daughters, Barbara Ann Paulsen, Deborah Lynn Dimoff, and Christine Nilluka; and her grandchildren, Cassie Paulsen, Ethan Paulsen, and Jourdan Dimoff. She also leaves behind her beloved animal companion, Harper.
