Carol grew up in Rimersburg graduating from Rimersburg High School in 1951. She then went on to get her nursing degree. She worked for over nine years at the Presbyterian Hospital, Pittsburgh, until she married her first husband John J. Chiprean. She then was a stay-at-home mom caring for her family and volunteering with her husband in the Rotary International Organization in the Butler area, until her husband passed. She was fortunate to find and marry her second husband, Charles “Chuck” Keller, and continued being very active and traveling in the Rotary International Organization, since Charles was elected as the president of Rotary International in 1987-1988. They traveled throughout the United States, as well as internationally, attending regional, state, national and international conventions.

She enjoyed gardening, being involved in several local gardening clubs, as well as helping with fundraising for the American Heart Association. She and her first husband, John, loved traveling to Canada to fish with their children and she continued this with her second husband.
