They were married on June 12, 1954, and later started a family, raising three children, Jim, Linda and Duane. Carol worked hard as a homemaker, wife and mother while Jerry worked for the U. S.

It s hard not to say Jerry when you talk about Carol. Carol and Jerry were inseparable. In 1959, Jerry s work moved their family to Kansas City. Then in 1964, they moved to Oklahoma City. It was in 1969, they made their home on a small acreage in Newcastle where they enjoyed living in the country, gardening, canning, raising horses and attending to other farm animals. All of her life, Carol enjoyed riding horses and being in the outdoors. She and Jerry spent countless hours fishing together and taking their kids and grandkids fishing.
Carol was a faithful Christian all of her life, after getting saved as a young girl. She and Jerry were faithful members of the Newcastle First Baptist church since moving to Newcastle in 1969.
