Born on May 16, 1949 in Harvey, IL to the late Charles Klauk and Lillian Jay Klauk. She grew up in Riverdale, IL and graduated from Thornton high school in 1967. After attending the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and Design, she married Thomas Caul in 1972.

After marrying Thomas she quickly was appointed CEO, COO, and CFO of the Caul Family. Over the next 8 years, they welcomed two children into their home. Her children, and later her grandchildren, were her world.

While living in Atlanta, she was an active member of the Cathedral of Christ the King while also volunteering as a caseworker with the St. Vincent de Paul Society.

She is preceded in death by her parents Charles and Lillian, and her aunts and uncles, Frank and Clara Wesley and Bus and Annie Griffith
