Carol June Carpenter was born on March 23, 1948, in Lehigh, Iowa, the daughter of Carrel and Ruth (Miller) Carpenter. She received her education from Woodward Resource Center. Following her education, Carol worked at the Marion Home, several years at The Messenger and most recently at Iowa Central Industries until her retirement.

Carol loved The Lord. She regularly attended Grace Lutheran Church in Fort Dodge and Chapel service at Friendship Haven until her health prevented.
