Carol was raised and educated in Cambridge. She met the love of her life, Michael L. Scalfani, at Johnson's Donut Shop formerly of Somerville. They married in 1959 and lived in Somerville and Medford before eventually settling in Wilmington in 1975. Carol was always supportive of her husband's work and business endeavors.

Carol was also very talented and creative enjoying arts and crafts, antique shopping, gardening, cooking and baking.
