Carol grew up in both Avon and West Hartford CT, graduating from Conard High School in 1958 and attended Chamberlain College in Massachusetts. Carol and her husband Robert (Bob) Goldberg shared 47 incredible years of love, joy and unwavering devotion. Carol was happiest at the beach and loved all types of flowers, especially her orchids.
Carol was a trailblazer in the business world, known for her entrepreneurial spirit and passion for retail. She owned and operated two successful card stores in Windsor and downtown Hartford where she poured her heart and soul into her work. After they closed, she continued her retail career for Nordstrom, Ann Taylor and Tommy Bahama. Carol found immense joy in putting together special items for her customers and her dedication and enthusiasm were evident to all who had the pleasure of visiting her stores.

In addition to her children, she leaves her nine grandchildren, who brought immense joy to her life: Jordan (Sara), Madison, Sylvie, Harrison, Bailey, Rachel, Sam, Graham and Olivia. She loved hearing about their accomplishments and was their biggest cheerleader.
