Carole & Norb enjoyed traveling by taking planes, trains, and automobiles all over the United States. They took several memorable trips to Germany to visit relatives of Norb. They enjoyed time in the Little Sturgeon Bay area at their cottage. They spent many winters in Florida. For years, they were members of the Sports Core where you could find them swimming laps many mornings each week. When her grandchildren were young, she loved to sit on the floor and play games with them or go outside and play kickball or badminton until we told her she couldn't anymore because she might get hurt. Carole had a kind heart and was known for her warm, friendly, and outgoing personality.
