Carol was born in Durango, Colorado May 22, 1946 to John and Lillie Fresquez (Lopez). The family moved from SW Colorado to Denver that same year and her 2 sisters Charlotte and Jeraldine were born in 1947 and 1948 respectively.

Carol attended Cathedral High School in Denver and graduated in 1963 and then attended the University of Iowa graduating in 1968 with a BS in Dentistry: Dental Hygiene. Carol experienced a very challenging and difficult life. She continually forged ahead. Our prayer is that her new life will be one of beauty and peace.
