Beginning in the 1970s, while she was young and healthy, Carol was an early advocate and guiding light for Fox Valley Hospice. During this time, she dedicated herself to the Sherman Hospital Auxiliary, where she served two terms as President. Her service earned Carol nomination as one of the Outstanding Young Women of Elgin.

With her husband, Robert, Carol contributed to the Zionist Organization of Chicago and Women In Business.
