The two remained married until Jim’s death in 2014. They made their home in Santa Ana from 1965 until 1992. While in Santa Ana, Carol served as the director of the nursery school at First Christian Church of Santa Ana.

After moving to Siskiyou County in 1992, Carol and Jim joined the Yreka Berean Church, and Carol became the office manager for Environmental Alternatives, a program dedicated to youth foster services. It was at church and on the job that Carol found her calling.

Carol will be remembered by her family as somebody who was always willing to participate in events and outings with her children and grandchildren, including white water rafting! Carol loved her family, loved her children, grandchildren, neighbors, and friends. Her family is at peace knowing that she has been reunited with Jim in heaven.
