Upon returning to Ohio, she continued her work and retired from St Peter Neurological Center in Burkettsville, Ohio as a cognitive speech therapist after 20 years of service.

Carol was a talented artist, and her specialty was watercolor painting. She attended classes at Wassenburg Art Center in Van Wert to hone her skills. She enjoyed traveling to visit family and friends and was always excited for a new adventure.
