Her mother passed away when Carol was six years old, she then moved to Grand Island, NE and lived with her aunt and uncle, Dan and Alma (Scherzberg) Sanders, and cousin Bernadeen. Carol attended school first in Kingman, then in Grand Island throughout her childhood. During her freshman year of high school, she moved with her Dad and Step-Mom, (Mary Ellen Crouch) to Greeley, NE where she attended high school. The family moved to Ord, and Carol graduated from Ord High School in 1957. On December 26, 1959, Carol was united in marriage to Leo Thomsen of Ord. Three daughters were born to this union. The family resided in the Springdale area of Valley County, east of Ord. After Leo passed away in 2003, Carol moved into Ord. During her lifetime, Carol worked at various jobs in Ord including the Kozy Nook Café, Lee's Dime Store, J.M. McDonalds, Valley County Hospital and also owned and operated Mode O' Day store in Ord.
