Carol was raised in Fountain Springs with a bevy of cousins, most notably, but not limited to, “the Richards boys”. This band of eight brothers were her first cousins but were much more like brothers to Carol. Bill, Earl, Lew, David, Robert, Glenn, Wade, and Kenny doted over her for all of her years. Upon graduation from Butler Township High School, Carol attended the Roxborough School of Nursing in Philadelphia where she formed precious friendships, she cherished her entire life. Shortly after marrying her hometown sweetheart, Carol stepped away from her nursing career to have a family and support her husband’s military career. After raising four children, traveling the globe, and finally settling in Virginia, she resumed her employment and her education at Saint Leo College where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. There she mentored and advised countless students, with best buds Marion and Norma by her side, and eventually retired as the Director of St. Leo College on Ft. Lee. She loved her family, she loved her friends, and she loved her Bichons. She will be forever remembered and sorely missed by Muffin & Molly and many more.
