In 1994, Jerry and Carol purchased condo in Palm Desert where they hoped to spend the winter months. However, Carol became so attached to the desert and the many friendships she made and renewed, she stayed longer and longer until the desert became her full time home. Carol loved photography and traveling, always taking the time to send postcards to her family and friends sharing in her adventures.

To all who knew her, Carol was an extremely energetic woman who excelled in many activities and hobbies including, race walking, hiking, yoga, dancing and knitting. Carol also was passionate about learning how to speak and write the French and Spanish languages.
