Born Carol Ann Murphy on January 13, 1936 in Galveston, Texas, she was the third of four children to James and Eileen Murphy. Carol earned her Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Emory University, in 1957, where she met and married John E. Engle (Jack) of Tampa, FL. Carol was a loving wife and an adoring mother whose warmhearted "southern" approach to all things brought tranquility and serenity. The early winter months of 1974 found Carol and Jack piloting their wood-paneled Plymouth station wagon filled with their six children and cat across the Great Plains, making their new home in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains, in the town of Brigham City, Utah. A devout Catholic and lifelong member of the Roman Catholic Church, and long-term member of St. Henry's Parish in Brigham City, Carol devoted her time, treasures and talent in stewardship to her faith and church, and countless hours volunteering in the community as a language and reading tutor. Following the death of her husband Jack in 1994, Carol would spend the next twenty-one years deeply committed to the lives of her children, grandchildren, friends and faith. Carol repatriated to Texas in 2014, moving to Cedar Park and taking residence at the Isle at Cedar Ridge where she was looked after by her loving family and caring staff.
