She graduated from St. Angela’s Academy and St. Anthony Hospital nursing school in nearby Carroll, Iowa. Carolyn joined the Navy in 1943 and worked as a Navy nurse in California, Idaho, and Illinois, achieving the rank of Lieutenant. She met her husband, Dr.  Joseph T.

Carolyn enjoyed playing bridge and other card games, bingo, golfing, and traveling. She was an avid fan of the Brewers and the Packers. Carolyn also enjoyed time with her family and treasured being a grandma and great-grandma. She was very committed to her Catholic faith and prayer life.
