Carole was born July 3, 1934 in Ririe, Idaho, to Melvin Samuel "Sam" & Sadie "Ressa" Lounsbury Perrins. She grew up in Deer Park, Washington with most summers spent visiting relatives in southeast Idaho. She attended school in Deer Park from Kindergarten through her Junior year. During her Senior year she moved to the Seattle area with her sister Mary Lou where she graduated in 1952.

In her final high school years, she had been corresponding with William George "Bill" Krohn while he was in the Army. Bill first took notice of Carole when she was walking down the street eating an ice cream cone in the middle of winter with big fuzzy mittens. Smitten, Bill wrote to Carole throughout his army career and they married on Nov. 27, 1952. Their first son, William "Butch" was born the following November in 1953, followed by a daughter, Connie, in October 1955, and a second son Brent in November 1956. A second daughter, Cathie, joined and completed the family in August 1968.

Carole lived in and around the Spokane/Deer park area for the majority of her life and she was active in many school committees and functions. In addition to the beefalo farm she and Bill ran, Carole drove school bus in Spokane and for the Riverside School District north of Spokane and sold toys and gifts with home parties for many years. After retiring, she and Bill moved to Utah in the mid- 90's. During their time in Utah, she drove bus for the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. She also volunteered at the various Senior Centers wherever she lived.

Carole and Bill returned to the Deer Park area in 2004 where they resided until Bill passed away in March 2006. In 2010 Carole moved to Clarkston, Washington to be near her son Brent.

During her life, Carole was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where she served in many leadership and service positions. She enjoyed and enriched every church choir she joined. Her favorite callings were teaching Gospel Doctrine and Visiting Teaching and was truly saddened when she retired from those positions. She was never shy about sharing her love and testimony for her Savior Jesus Christ. She touched many lives and made lasting friendships through her church service.
