Carol was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She graduated from the University of Kanas with Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Social Work. Over the past 20 years, she held a variety of clinical and administrative positions throughout Kansas.

In addition to her children, survivors include her sister, Sarah Novotny; first cousin, John Martin and family; aunt, Elizabeth Novotny; uncles Hans, Franz, and Alfred Novotny and their families; her former husband, Steve Neeley; and friends too numerous to mention.
