Carol chose to be photographed by a monument dedicated to her mother and aunt in Kirkwood Park, on the land where she grew up.  She has helped others throughout her life as a church volunteer & as a pediatric nurse’s assistant at St. John’s Mercy Hospital.  She also worked as

a custodian at St. Louis Community College Meramec campus in Kirkwood.  After retirement, she began volunteering at the Shepherd’s Centerfor older adults where she stays socially active & participates in weekly  line dance classes & learning/cultural events that she didn’t have

time for when she was a working mother.
