In 1971, Carol married Roy V. Winner, whom she met through a mutual friend. Of the life they shared together, Roy shares “For the last 52 years, all my adult life, I lived with the most wonderful woman in the world. We worked together for 20 years and it was wonderful to be with her every day. I will miss her all the rest of my life. I will miss her wonderful big brown eyes and great smile, and her loving ways.”

During the start of her working life, Carol worked with special needs children for some time. She went on to become a professional cake decorator, eventually opening a cake decorating shop with her parents: The Decorette Shop.
