Carol’s employment evolved beginning at Short’s store, Arcadia Valley Hospital, and ending with 27 years of service at The Baptist Home.

She took pride in her family, friends, work, and home. She enjoyed sightseeing, traveling in all continental forty-eight states, and some of Canada. Carol also enjoyed auto racing. She spoiled many with her cakes, butterhorn rolls, fried chicken, and Bear burgers. In addition to her parents and son, Carol was preceded in death by her brothers: Charlie (Marie) Keenan, Andy Keenan, Marion Keenan, Marvin Keenan, and Clyde Keenan and her sisters: Lena Johnston (Glenwood), Joyce Keenan, Maxine Price, and Jean Niethe (Bill).
