Having graduated from North High School, Carol dedicated her life to serving others. Starting as a dental hygienist then transitioning her focus to home health care, she always enjoyed bettering the life of others and many patients became her friends. When she retired, she continued her continuity of care as a member of the Guild of Our Lady of Providence where she participated in various fundraisers for the organization.

She loved to spend her free time trying out Worcester’s newest restaurants and traveling to the Cape to unwind but her greatest enjoyment came from spending time with her grandchildren.
