Carol graduated from the Professional Business Institute, Minneapolis, in 1968. She received her degree as a Medical Laboratory Technologist. Soon after, in June 1968, she married LeRoy F. Schug in Clarks, Nebraska. While in Nebraska, she worked at Lexington Hospital, and then transferred to Litzenberg Memorial Hospital in Central City, Nebraska. While there, she was the only Laboratory Technologist so worked almost every day, 24/7, for the hospital. LeRoy was hired with AT&T Bell Labs in Westminster, Colorado and they moved to Westminster in November 1969. 

After moving to Colorado, she chose to focus on marriage and family. Her children were born, Jacinda, October 1972, and Jeffrey, April 1975. They moved to their current residence Northglenn in July 1975. She was active in the city exercise programs and participated in many celebratory runs such as the annual Turkey Trot. When her children were older, she actively volunteered in the schools. She spent 6 years as a teacher assistant at Stukey Elementary and participated in activities, such as Bingo Parent, to support the High School Marching Band, while the kids were in High School. She was also active in church and spent many years helping run the Church Garage Sale each Spring.
