Carol dedicated 14 years of her career to the Mirro company, followed by another 14 years at Uni-Mart, retiring in 1987. In 1990, she began working as a baker for her family’s business, Novy’s Supper Club, and continued to share her baking skills in her own kitchen, passing on her knowledge to her grandchildren. Carol cherished her travels to Arizona for extended visits with her twin brother Carl, was an active member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, post #1248, participated in the Manitowoc/Two Rivers women’s Lioness club, and was involved with the St. Peter the Fisherman council of Catholic Women.
