As a child, Carol always knew she wanted to be an educator. She graduated from Emmerich Manual High School in 1953 and Ball State University in 1957; where she met the love of her life (a red headed farmer). She married Rex Wuerthner on November 22, 1962, and began their lives together in Marion, Indiana. He passed away on June 4, 2012. After having her first child she knew that motherhood was the most important thing and put her career on the back burner.
