She was born January 10, 1943 in Dayton, OH to Cecil and Ruth (Fischer) Williams. While serving in the United States Navy as a dental technician, Carol was united in marriage to the love of her life, Larry E.

She was an active member of both St Patrick’s Catholic Church in Elkhorn, WI and St. Benedicts Catholic Church in Fontana, WI throughout her life. She was a lifelong servant and enjoyed sewing, quilting, and kniting, including prayer shawls and hats for preemies and babies. Carol along with her dear friend, Kathy Wedige, founded the Pregnancy Helpline in Elkhorn, and volunteered there as a counselor for 20 years, now known as New Day Women’s Clinic, which has remained pro-life. Carol was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother who will be deeply missed by her loving husband of 60 years, Larry Steenstry, her two children: Maria (Daniel) Girard of Maplewood, MN and Brian (Pamela) Steenstry of Rochester, WI, and her four grandchildren: Benjamin Steenstry, Joseph Girard, Jennifer Girard, and John “Jack” Girard.
