"She was born November 11, 1937, in Troy, New York to Thomas and Florence (Palso) Connally. As a teen, Carol attended Catholic Central High School in Troy and then went on to St. Peter School of Nursing in Albany, New York where she received a diploma in nursing. Feeling a special call to serve, Carol entered the Maryknoll Convent in Ossining, New York. After taking her vows, she was sent to St. Francis School of Anesthesia in La Crosse, WI, graduating as a nurse anesthetist."
"The Maryknoll sisters then sent Carol to work at Sing Mo Yiyun Maryknoll Hospital in Hong Kong. At that time anesthesia was administered as a gas, and the level of sedation was not easy to control. Carol suggested that the physicians try to administer anesthesia intravenously. The new approach was successful, and the physicians adopted the change from gas to intravenous sedation. She continued to work at Sing Mo Yiyum Hospital for seven years."
