Carol worked for Kimberly Clark in Kimberly and later in Neenah. She loved going “up north” to the Shangrila on Roberts Lake with her grandchildren and great grandchildren, listening to all the giggling upstairs when they should have been sleeping. A close second to family was her love of chocolate!
