Carol attended the Morgan Baptist Church in her early years.
She was an avid fan of the Kansas City Royals, the Kansas City Chiefs, and loved her favorite recording artist, George Jones. She possessed a quiet disposition, and was rather reserved, but loved visiting with her family and friends. She also greatly liked time with her family.
