Carol’s first job was at Conco Engineering in Mendota, IL, where she met her husband, Bob. She held several part-time positions throughout her career, including raising their 2 children. Her most recent job was assisting Bob as the owner and operator of DeAngelo’s Hairstyling. She spent most of her time behind the scenes taking care of the books and managing the finances.

Carol truly enjoyed fishing in St. Germaine, WI, and playing cards, especially Euchre, with family and friends. Over the years, she enjoyed many wonderful weekend trips with her bowling team, the Euchrettes, her sisters-in-law, and nieces. She and Bob were able to enjoy many wonderful vacations around the world with each other and with family and friends. Spending time in her yard tending to the many flowers she planted each spring brought her much joy.
