Caroline was born in 1853, the daughter of Julien Rossignol and Théotiste Soucy. Though born in Bas-Canada, her father moved the family to New Brunswick by the 1861 Census of Canada. She married Baptiste Michaud at age 20 and seems to have spent the rest of her life there. Caroline passed away in 1931 at 77 years old.
