She was born in Peru on March 5, 1946 to the late Vinal and Marjorie (Hessong) Bowyer. Carol received her bachelors degree and worked as a social worker at Maconaquah School Corporation until her retirement. In her free time, Carol enjoyed gardening and card making with her friends.

Carol was a caring and compassionate person. This was evidenced through all of her volunteering in the Community of Peru. She has been involved with the domestic violence coalition, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Miami County Worth Remembering, The Salvation Army and has served as both regent and vice regent of the local chapter of DAR. Carol was very involved with many community activities during her lifetime. Some of her most notable are running the parent nurturing program, helping with the Homegrown Memorial and the more recent placement of “the little girl with her bike” statue in front of the Peru Public Library. Even with all of her volunteering she still made family a priority in her life. She always made time for each and every one of them with a focus on her grandchildren.

She was a member of Pipe Creek Church of the Brethren. 

Carol is survived by her daughters; Krista (Brian) Robbins of Noblesville, Indiana, Kara (Jamie) Oliver of Lafayette, Indiana, grandchildren; Christian Vernengo, Alyssa Vernengo, Adalynne Robbins, Miles Robbins, brother, Donald Bowyer of Peru, Marvene Riis of South Dakota, and Devita McClain of Peru.
