She married Reinder Dupon on 4 OCT 1952, who preceded her in death in 1997. She was employed at Kalamazoo Stationery until the birth of her children. Caroline and Reinder were charter members of Doster Community Reformed Church, and quietly practiced their faith subsequently at InterLakes Baptist Church, Delton, and Orangeville Baptist Church.
