Carol graduated from East High School in 1961 and the American Academy of Beauty in 1963. In December of 1963, Carol married the love of her life Marc. Carol was a homemaker and did clerical work throughout her life until purchasing Van Dee’s Ice Cream Shop in Johnston. She owned and operated the ice cream shop from March of 1990 until April of 2013.

Carol had a knack for baking and cooking with an ability to pull off recreating any recipe. Her awesome cinnamon rolls and Dutch letters were always a hit. She would put out a little wooden sign at the shop when the Dutch letters were available and they would be gone in an instant. Her beef burger recipe was another one that people loved.

Carol had a passion for flowers with an amazing green thumb. Her flowers would bloom all summer long. She enjoyed crafting and sewing, and had a special cabinet at home where she stored all the supplies she needed for any project.

Carol is survived by her husband, Marc; children, Rick VanderLinden and Jill VanderLinden; grandchildren, Dharma, Valis and Serius VanderLinden; brother, Dale Webb. She was preceded in death by her parents; siblings, Ray, Lenny and Lois.
