Carol was born June 22, 1941 in Savanna, Illinois to Franklin and Garnet Seward. She was educated in Savanna and graduated with the class of 1959. Later that year Carol eloped with the love of her life, William Eyerly, on November 27, 1959, and they began to lay the foundation for a beautiful life together. This union blessed them with three children: Bill, Nikki, and Cori. Carol provided a consistent loving hand with her gentile temperament, guiding her family through both good times and bad. She strove to ensure all learned to appreciate the joy made available by her selfless love. Carol was the best teacher of unconditional love, and you never left her home hungry for food or affection.
