Carole was a member of Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church in Steele and played the piano for Sunday services at the Cooter Methodist Church and Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church.  Carole thoroughly enjoyed working in her yard, and everything associated with flowers and gardening.  Carole was an outstanding cook of all meals, all holidays, and all gatherings; especially, renowned for her infamous cheesecake. Carole was a member of the Missouri Retired Teachers Association, a member of the Steele Book Club, and served as President of the Steele Public Library Board.  Invariably, Carole served others and without exception always put the needs of others above her own.  Carole loved God and country and was an extremely patriotic person.  Later in life, Carole became an avid supporter of anything and everything associated with Ole Miss.
