Years later, after the adoptions, Carol decided to attend Augustana University in Sioux Falls. There, she graduated (summa cum laude) with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Journalism and English. While studying at Augustana University, she met her present husband, Riley Lee Williams of Chicago, Ill. They married on Dec. 31, 1990.

Rest now Carol, you’ve done your job on the earth. I believe God is pleased with your work.
