A favorite past time of hers was bowling. She bowled in local leagues for many years and traveled to state tournaments with her teams across Kansas and even went on a trip to Reno, NV for the nationals by train. One of the highlights of her bowling career was when she received her Grand Duchess pin at state for still bowling at the age of 70.

From a young age Carole worked at her parent's restaurants in Quinter and Plainville. She also spent many years as a cook and waitress in restaurants around WaKeeney.

Carole was always glad when her kids, grandchildren and great-grandchildren came to visit her. She’d always try and find something to feed them. They all loved it when she cooked fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and, boy, could she make awesome pies!
