Carole was a lifelong advocate for individuals with disabilities, dedicating her career to significant causes including contributions to the American with Disabilities Act. Her passion for making the world a more inclusive place was paralleled by her love for reading, solving crossword puzzles, enjoying diverse music, and savoring great food with great friends.
