Fall 2021
CAROL GHENT
I was raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan where I was a fifth-generation member of Zion Lutheran Church.
My future husband, Jim, and I met as students at Michigan State University. Besides a trip to the altar, my time there also prepared me for a career in graphic design and advertising.
We were blessed with two daughters, Kelly and Jennifer who now have families of their own including our 5 grandchildren. Having shared 41 years of marriage, Jim passed away in 2009). In 2015, by sheer coincidence, both daughters’ families moved to The Woodlands (one from MI and one from OH). I followed in 2016 and we now live within 3 miles of each other and enjoying the Texas life.
I enjoy the challenges of TX gardening and dabbling in watercolor.
WE ARE THE FIELDS FAMILY!
