She was the second of their five daughters. The family lived on a farm near Algona until Carol was seven, at which time they moved to Columbus, Nebraska. The family later moved to Schuyler and then to Imperial, Nebraska, in 1974. Carol graduated from Chase County High School in Imperial in 1977 and from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1982.
