She was a member of the Auxiliary to VFW post 7822 for 54 years.  
Carol married Ronnal Gail Clinton June 10, 1972  becoming a home maker with all the duties and enjoyment it brought as she spent years raising and forming the minds of her children and her grandchildren by being active in their lives by baking, cooking, playing cards, cutting up and ensuring school work was completed. She loved the Puxico Indian sports as well as helping organize The Little Miss and Miss Puxico contests. She treated everyone as though they were family, but most important was her life that was dedicated to Jesus Christ and his family.
