Carol Ann Bluvas was born in Omaha, Nebraska on April 22, 1944 to Al and Elinore Kerdikes.  An only child, Carol attended Ss. Peter & Paul Elementary School and went on to be a member of the first graduating class of Archbishop Ryan High School in 1962.

Carol married the love of her life, William Bluvas, on February 19, 1966. They welcomed three sons to make their family complete.  Michael was born in 1967, Patrick in 1969, and Christopher in 1975.  Carol and Bill celebrated 52 years of marriage.  From their love, Carol’s family grew to include twelve grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
