Carol's Story

Life Boy, do I have a life bio for you. Hang on, here we go... I started the marriage-go-round at a very young age. I married a great guy I met from North High. For those who might remember him, his name was Lynn Fredericksen (Goodman). We had a simple and sweet relationship, but due to the inocence of our youth it ended in a divorce. The result of our time together was two beautiful daughters. Sadly life was short for him and it ended when he was 42 years old. Some unknown man entered his business, robbed and shot him. He lived for six weeks before it took his life. Then along came husband #2. This was a short lived marriage, but out of this came my third daughter. Husband # 3 was a handsome, interesting man from Holland that was ten years my senior. This union produced my first son and fourth child. Sadly too it ended in divorce. You would think by now I would have given up on marriage. Not me, I was always optimistic, and I have always enjoyed the company of good men. My hope was that I would find that special someone I really loved, and loved me the same in return. Soooo, along came husband #4. We were a great combination. He was super rich and I was ready and willing to spend it. It was an exciting time. I could have any thing I wanted and I wanted everthing. I invested in race cars that went to the Indy 500, fur coats, diamonds, limousines with a full time chauffer,and all the things I could think of to buy. We took up residence in a beautiful home in Paradise Valley Arizona, where our daughter was born, making her my fourth daughter and fifth child. Well,that home in paradise ended. He was murdered also. Husband #5 was a good man. Byron Diamond was someone I had known for many years. ...Expand for more
He was a Phoenix boy that graduated from West High, and attended college in Tucson. Wehad a son my sixth and last child. We lived at the beach in Dana Point, California for 24 years. We were very very happy. I wish I could tell you I lived happily ever after but,that was not meant to be. Tragedy hit and after many trials it too ended in divorce.We have remained close friends. I still wasn't ready to give up on marriage so along came husband #6&7. This guy was twenty years my junior.I guess I knew from the start it wouldn't work, but tried hard to make it do so. I learned alot in that relationship and gave it my all for 13 years. In which time we were married and divorced twice. I have been single now for ten years, and have enjoyed putting my thoughts and life in prospective. I have learned to be less judgmental and more appreciative of others and things around me. I have a large family of 6 children, their mates, 22 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren. I have been fortunate to have a host of wonderful friends who are there for me. I am the Regional Manager for a mortgage company. I act professionally in the entertainment industry and keep my skills honed by attending on going acting classes. The latest movie I was in is a drama with Danny Trejio, directed and written by one of my sons. It is expected to be in theatres next year. My roles are small but, it's just the way I want them to be. It is a fun rewarding thing to do. My life is busy and full. I have good health and peace. I know who I am and where I'm going. Life definately hasn't been boring and I am grateful for all the people and experiences that has made up my life. I understand at last how to be a good person, companion, and mother.
