In North Port, Florida, Bob and Carol served their community and St Paul's Presbyterian Church.
Carol founded a latch-key program at St Paul's which grew into St Paul's Development Center, which still serves families.
There is also an exceptional Carol McMullen Playground which she helped established and which still bears her name.
