She was the cherished grandmother to Gabriel and Michael, and the loving daughter of Eugene and Edith Renner and sister to Brad and Cliff Renner, as well as a loving aunt to many nieces and nephews. Carol was born in Toledo and grew up in Poland Ohio, before moving to begin her life in the northeast where she worked in Manhattan at Levi Strauss (where she met Barry) for 32 years.
