Carole was born December 11, 1934 in Mansfield, Ohio to John and Lucille (Schroeder) Leedy. Carole was a homemaker for much of her life as she raised her family. Later in life, she worked a few clerical jobs in the Mansfield area. She was a member of Franklin United Methodist where she was a secretary for several years. She was a gifted singer, singing with the local chapter of Sweet Adelines, Mid-Ohio Sound, and the Canton City of Flags Chorus. She sang with the church choir, with her sisters, and in a quartet called “Daddy’s Girls”. Carole was a fabulous cook, and many raved about her special dishes.
