After Lee's retirement from the Navy they returned to Idaho, living in Lewiston and later Kamiah. While in Kamiah, Carol was employed by the Community Credit Union.

Carol was a generous person, freely giving of her time and money. She would literally give "the shirt off her back" to help anyone in need. She enjoyed spending time with her family, shopping and she lived for Black Friday! Holidays, especially Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, were her favorite times of the year. She liked keeping up with her friends and family through Facebook and enjoyed attending events to watch her niece play basketball and show dogs. Carol was a member of the Lewis-Clark Kennel Club.
