Born the youngest of eleven children in Laurel, Mississippi in 1927, Ann "Carol" Flynt attended local schools and studied nursing in Birmingham. As a child, her older sisters faithfully took her to church each Sunday, and, later, as a teenager, she gave her life to Christ.She met her husband, Lenard, in 1944, while walking to church one Sunday with friends. She invited him to church and, later,after months of letter writing, they were married in 1947, when he returned from military service. They moved briefly to Minneapolis, MN, before returning to Len's hometown of Williston, ND. They lived there until retiringto Arizona in 1985. Len and Carol raised three sons and were active in their local Baptist churches.
