Carol was born December 9, 1934, first child to the late John and Irene Schuster Schweitzer of Pilot Grove MO.  A 1952 graduate of Pilot Grove High School, she went on to obtain her nursing degree in May 1955.  On October 22, 1955 she married Lawrence J.

Carol was a lifelong parishioner of St. Joseph Catholic Church of Pilot Grove.  She supported her husband’s love of baseball and enjoyed socializing at the numerous baseball games he coached and her children played.  In her later years, she enjoyed activities with her fellow Red Hat Society members.  She was a lifelong reader with a particular love of who-done-it’s and always enjoyed a good competitive game of rummy or dominos.
