Carole \u201cCJ Fox\u201d always hit the ground running, and there was nothing she couldn’t do.\u00a0 She was a devoted mother to her three children, Tim, Rusty, and Christine, and taught them the value of working hard and playing hard.\u00a0 She then decided to attend the College of Lake County and obtain her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, graduating at the top of her class.\u00a0 Starting at Victory Memorial Hospital, she continued on specializing in CCU and the ER.<\/p>\n
