Carol was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. After marrying George, a U.S. Air Force pilot during World War II, in 1945, they lived in many U.S. states, England, and Germany as he was transferred by the military. Carol and George and their three children moved to Huntsville in 1963 upon George’s retirement from the U.S. Air Force. They lived on Holmes Avenue, on what for many years was known as Christmas Card Lane because of the giant wooden Christmas cards each neighbor painted and installed in their front yards during the holiday season.
Carol and George were married for 65 years when he passed away in 2010. They were long-time and very active members of Trinity Presbyterian Church on Holmes Avenue. They were also prominent members of the Order of the Eastern Star (Helion Chapter #203) and the Masonic Lodge (Helion Lodge #1) in Huntsville. Carol held several appointed and elected positions in the Eastern Star on a local as well as state level.
