In the 1970’s, Carol went from a stay-at-home mom to a newspaper photographer for the Daily Sifting Herald of Arkadelphia. She also worked with local and state law enforcement taking accident and crime scene photos. Carol gained recognition as an excellent sports photographer with her coverage of local high school and college sports, as well as NCAA tournaments held at Henderson State University and Ouachita Baptist University.

She retired from the newspaper in the 1980’s when she and Jerry moved to Perry County on Harris Brake Lake. An avid gardener, her yard was filled with flowers. She loved taking pictures of nature as it bloomed outside her windows.

She will be sorely missed by all that knew her, and most especially her family.
