Getting to Know...

Carole Galloway has led quite a full life! Born and raised in Tacoma, WA, she is the youngest of four girls and is a fraternal twin! She and her sister Cecelia weighed a total of 8 pounds 7 ounces. Carole enjoyed growing up in Tacoma around many relatives and neighborhood friends. She has spent most of her life working in various restaurants, resorts, and a nursing home. Her first job was at the Goofy Goose Drive-In.

Carole has been across the entire United States and back on a motorcycle. A "fun" memory was sleeping on the concrete in Death Valley while waiting for the gas station to open up to fill up the same motorcycle. She has lived in many places. She met her husband Karl at a Square Dance. He had just returned from a patrol in a Navy submarine. He asked her to dance at "Phase 3 Round Dance class" and they have been together ever since. They lived for some time in Ketchikan, Alaska.

This amazing lady has survived cervical as well as stage 1 breast cancer. After chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer, she and Karl married in Calgary. In 2002, they moved back to Washington so Karl could go to graduate school for computer programming. Carole owns her own Bookkeeping business for small companies. She was baptized in October 2011.

Besides her love for dance, Carole loves to read, sew and crochet.  She and Karl own over 10,000 books. Her favorite treat is chocolate/mint/peanut butter ice cream, which she can find at Coldstone.

Carole is hoping to move back to Tacoma to take care of her mom and dad. Please get to know this awe-inspiring lady before she leaves us!
