She was born October 1, 1932 and raised in Ruffsdale, a daughter of the late Woodrow N. and Olive R. (Bridges) Baird. In addition to her parents Carole was preceded in death by her beloved husband Gene L. Walters; brothers and sisters Harold “Cy” Bridges, Woodrow Thomas Baird, Joanne L.

Married in 1954, Carole and Gene made their home in Westmoreland City, PA and began to raise a family until Gene was called home to Heaven in 1982. Carole did it all…carpool Mom, soccer Mom, scout Mom, youth group Mom, working Mom; and always made sure her children were in Church on Sundays! Carole was a gifted conversationalist with a generous heart. She donated her time and money to many organizations throughout her lifetime. She was a member of Calvin Presbyterian Church (PCA) in North Huntingdon. Her volunteer roles included being a Sunday School Teacher; Treasurer of her local Church- based Pioneer Clubs, Committee Member of Boy Scout Troop #273, Greensburg Garden Center Member; just to name a few. Most notably, Carole worked for over 20 years at the Greensburg Hempfield Area Library. Many knew her as “Carol with an E!” She would go out of her way to help all in need. She was a remarkable woman who will be dearly missed by family and friends alike.
