Carol and Gene enjoyed travelling to Greece, Italy, China, Australia and Europe until his passing in 2008. After his passing she found her friend Jo, Niece Linda, or Cousin Margie to become her travelling partners. One of her favorite places she visited was China, she was astonished by the Terra Cotta warriors in the city of Xi’an. A lot of her travel revolved around historically significant locations due to her love of history. Some of her other interests included the history of her family tree in the form of ancestry. She was a teacher in District 6 for 32 years spending most of her years at Greeley Central and Heath teaching Language Arts.
Carol was a very giving person. She spent time stocking the food pantry at First Congregational Church and volunteering at the Greeley History Museum.
