Carol was born December 17, 1943 in Wisconsin Rapids, WI to John and Mabel (Steege) Cummings. In 1962, she graduated from West High School and attended classes at Rock Valley College. She went onto work at Woodward Governor for many years until she married Richard Frank Warner on October 28, 1967 and started a family. They had 6 children Jacqueline, Tracy (Domenic), Jason (Sarah), Jeremy (Angela) and Scott (Ciara) all of Rockford and Courtney (Brad) of Milwaukee. Since their home was open to all family and friends, Carol treated everyone like her own children. (Most notably her 4th son, Kristopher Killion and 5th son, Bolor Oynchimeg both of Rockford).
