She graduated from St. Mary of the Springs Academy in 1955, and married Frederick William Shackleton, Jr. in 1957. Carol was a devoted military wife. The family moved frequently finally settling in Lower Township in 1970, when Fred was stationed at Training Center Cape May to decommission the last two lightships (Delaware and Five Fathom) for the U.S. Coast Guard. Carol worked in food service for the Lower Township schools for 26 years. She was the high school cafeteria manager for Lower Cape May Regional School District for 23 of those years, until her retirement in 1998. She also worked as a hostess in area restaurants most notably, Uncle Bills Pancake House in North Cape May. Her happy nature, bright smile (red lipstick), Irish scarf (her babushka), and her loyalty to her favorite football teams (Philadelphia Eagles, Ohio State, and Notre Dame) will be missed by everyone who knew her.
