Carrole Hedges

Born and raised in the heart of the South, Carrole Hedges is a proud Huntsville, Alabama native. She is a woman of faith and a devoted wife, mother of four, daughter, and friend. While she and her husband have recently embraced the empty nest phase, their home is far from quiet thanks to their four "fur babies"—a happy pack made up of three dachshunds and one cat. When she's not hosting friends and family at home, Carrole loves spending quality time with her husband and grown children, or planning her next relaxing beach visit.
