Carol resided in Naugatuck for all of her life where she enjoyed the community and worked in the Tax Assessors office prior to retirement. Carol loved chatting with neighbors, enjoyed lunch with friends, time with her family, and collecting antiques and researching genealogy with a particular interest in her Lithuanian heritage.
