Carol worked as an interior design specialist at Stahl’s Furniture in Mt. Pulaski for many years before retirement. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Mt. Pulaski, and the American Legion Auxiliary Post # 447 of Mt. Pulaski. Carol was very active at the Tomlinson Recreation Center in Mt. Pulaski for many years where she was the swim instructor for the grade school kids, and also taught swim lessons and water safety instruction.

Most of all, Carol enjoyed her white wine and spending time with friends and family. Carol could usually be found at the Brickyard on Friday nights with the former Bridge Club group.

A Memorial Service for Carol will be held at a later date. Burial will then follow at Mt. Pulaski Cemetery. Memorials may be made in Carol’s memory to either the American Legion Post # 447 of Mt.
