When Carol returned from the service the two lived in a rent house near the Montgomery Ward Seventh Street store (Fort Worth) and opened a small neighborhood washateria. May, 1949, a devastating flood of the Trinity River took their home and business, forcing them and their daughter to move to the Lake Worth community.

She was an excellent homemaker and an accomplished seamstress. Her unexpected death on July 13, 1966, took her from her loving family way too soon.
