Before her retirement at the age of 84, Carol worked most of her life in supermarkets. Being born and raised in Scituate, she was proud to have worked at some local favorites - Goddard’s 5 & 10 on Front Street and Ronnie Shone’s. Carol had a great sense of humor and enjoyed her ability to make others laugh. Later in life, she would go on to spend many years caring for her mother, Ethel. Being the natural and warmhearted woman she was, Carolyn always ensured Ethel had everything she needed and would visit her daily until her passing at the age of 95. Above all, Carol loved spending time with her family and friends.
