Employee Spotlight: Carol VanWinkle

Carnahan Evans is proud to announce a remarkable achievement by Carol VanWinkle, who has been an invaluable member of our team for over 28 years! Carol began her journey with us as a part-time file clerk for John Carnahan. When John’s secretary was promoted to paralegal, Carol stepped up to take on the role of legal secretary, a position she has held for the past 24 years. We celebrate Carol’s dedication and hard work!

Carol, originally from Cambridge, Illinois, graduated from Cambridge High School before marrying Paul VanWinkle. Together, they raised three children while Carol embraced her role as a stay-at-home mom. As their youngest son entered middle school, she took on a position as a cafeteria substitute at various schools, eventually becoming the head manager of a grade school cafeteria until relocating to Missouri.

In her free time, Carol loves traveling, and has taken several trips thanks to her daughter and son-in-law. She also cherishes moments spent with her grandchildren and enjoys outdoor activities like camping and sightseeing.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Carol VanWinkle for her outstanding journey with Carnahan Evans! We sincerely appreciate her unwavering commitment and invaluable contributions to the firm. Here’s to many more years of shared success and accomplishment!

Thank you for being such an integral part of our team, Carol!
