Caryl was a long-time resident of Greenland, MI, She worked as a produce manager for Holiday, Fraki's and Pat's Foods. Caryl enjoyed her family and adventures with them. She enjoyed fishing and was known to catch Ron throwing worms over the boat to shorten the fishing adventure when he was ready to go and she wasn't. It didn't matter what she was catching, just as long as she was catching. Camping and sitting around a good camp fire, Caryl always had to have that one S'more.

Slot machines, weekend getaway casino trips and spending time at home always made her happy. Caryl enjoyed talking about how she and her childhood friend Rosalee would walk to Twin Lakes. That's how she met her husband, Ron. Caryl and Ron would drive along listening to the oldies and when the mood struck them, they would pull over and dance on the side of the road.
