In addition, she\u2019s been a realtor for 20 years, working with Prudential Patterson Realtors.\u00a0 According to Stroker, \u201cSustainable property values are very important to the region.\u00a0 There are ways to encourage more home ownership within the lending industry and I want to see them utilized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stroker and her husband Bob have lived in Hazelwood for 43 years.\u00a0 They have four grown children, Mark, Brian, Patrick and Rebecca, as well as five grandchildren.\u00a0 She is a graduate of St. Elizabeth Academy and attended classes at St. Louis Community College \u2013 Florissant Valley.\u00a0 Her other activities include supporting North County Inc. and the Greater North County Chamber of Commerce.\u00a0 Not only has Stroker served on the St. Louis County Boundary Commission, but also she\u2019s been an accredited tutor for the St. Louis Council on Adult Literacy and a charter member of the Hazelwood Literacy and Literature Committee.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Stroker, there are three other certified candidates running for election to the Hazelwood City Council on April 6.\u00a0 They are Donald Ryan (Ward 3), Russell Todd (Ward 5) and Rosalie Hendon (Ward 7).\u00a0 For more information on the upcoming April 6 elections, contact Hazelwood City Clerk Colleen Klos at (314) 513-5020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hazelwood City Council has appointed Carol Stroker to serve as the representative for Ward 1 between now and April.\u00a0 She is certified to run for election as the Ward 1 Councilwoman for the April 6 election.\u00a0 City Clerk Colleen Klos conducted her Oath of Office ceremony during a recent Hazelwood City Council meeting.
