Carin graduated from Hannibal High School in 1967, upon graduation she attended William Jewell University, where she earned her degree in teaching. Carin loved math and teaching and put both skills to use at St. Thomas Seminary in Hannibal, where she was the only woman teaching, which made her a mother figure for many students. Carin and Richard and their son, Cris later moved to Olathe, KS, and made their home there for many years. Carin continued her love of teaching in the Kansas City, Kansas Unified School District, where she taught in the regular classroom along with at risk kids at the alternative school. She also enjoyed spending time with her family and being a grandmother.
Carin made Hannibal her home again in 2013 and joined Faith Presbyterian Church in Quincy, where she taught Senior High Sunday School until her health made her unable to attend.
