CT graduated from Reinbeck High School in 1976, continued her education at Grandview College in Des Moines and graduated from Westmar College Le Mars Iowa with a BA in Physical Education. She dedicated many years of her professional life to working at PCI and as a Press Operator at Traer Manufacturing. Her commitment to her career showcased her unwavering work ethic.

Her enthusiasm extended beyond the community as she was an avid Miami Dolphins fan, always celebrating her team's victories with great passion.
CT had a love for the outdoors and found joy in mowing the grass around her community. This simple yet fulfilling hobby was not only a way for her to connect with nature but also a means through which she contributed to the beauty of her surroundings.
She is survived by her beloved siblings, Kathy Beenken, Mike (Caryn) Thede, Connie Thede, Jerry (Connie) Thede, and Jim (Kim) Thede, along with numerous nieces and nephews who will carry on her memory and the lessons she imparted throughout her life.
Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Irma Thede, and her brother, Craig Thede.
