There she continues her work for Legal with passion. She is building the services that contribute to community growth (both business and residential). Her willingness to contribute and being open to new prospects gives her a distinct advantage in making new connections for Legal to move forward.

With her husband and family being active in Legal it has become an aspiration of Carols to create a legacy that their child and someday grandchildren will be proud of. She loves to see the community rally together and form such a proud, warm, and driven town. She continues to be a part of that with council duties.
