Carol was born and raised in St Louis.  She attended Soldan High School and met the love of her life Max at a young age.  She raised three children and then found her true calling of community involvement and leadership.  When she wasn’t working at Annex Two to support her clothing addiction, she was becoming involved in the community surrounding her.  She co-chaired the Jewish Book Festival two times, was the inaugural chair of the Jewish Film Festival and was a past president of the J Associates.  She also served on the JCC Board.   Her last official office was a Council member at the Brookdale Senior Living Center.

Carol never met a stranger and was known and beloved by all.  She shall be missed.
