Carol was born on January 17, 1956, in Whittier, California, the daughter of Julius and Marian (Lowe) Bochinski. She graduated from Winston Churchill High School, Maryland.
In the 8th grade, she made a public profession of faith and devoted the rest of her life to following her savior, Jesus. She met John Van Pelt on October 20, 1976, and they married December 24th of the same year in Roland Heights, California. They spent the next 42 years in God-honoring partnership, raising their family to love God and each other.

She was preceded in death by her father, and grandson Jaedon.
With confident Hope in Jesus, she finished her race well supported by her husband, family, and friends in the body of Christ. Having been faithful in little things, God gave her much.
