Carol was born September 17, 1930, in Cleveland, OH to Adolph and Opal Scholl. As she grew up her love of music flourished in a home that valued and encouraged her musical talent. Attending the University of Michigan, School of Music she studied the piano and viola. After marrying the love of her life, Warren Herbert, she settled in the Cleveland area to raise her children and create a home. After several years the family moved to New Jersey where she developed a long lasting love of sandy beaches and warm ocean water. Always interested in faraway places, she was able to travel extensively with her best friend, her husband.
