She married the love of her life, Johnie (Mike) Marshall on December 25, 1983. Mike and Carol spent a total of 49 loving years together. She would tell you it took her 10 years to get him straightened out enough to marry. The love they shared was one most did not understand, but those closest to them knew the unconditional love they shared.

Carolyn spent all her life catering to others; both in her profession as a cook and at home. She spent many years as a cook at the Bucyrus Community Hospital. After retirement she spent her days playing with and caring for her grandchildren. Carol’s faith in our LORD Jesus Christ is what most people will remember of her.

She didn’t have to verbalize her faith; it was present in her daily actions.
