Former Algoma Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Carol Wiese left a long-lasting legacy in the city before her passing this week from COVID-19 complications. According to her obituary, the Algoma High School alumna returned home after graduating from UW-Green Bay to work at 96.7 WOMA, a precursor to WBDK. Wiese later moved on from her career in radio to take over the Algoma Chamber of Commerce, helping spearhead projects that lead to its new center and improvements to Crescent Beach. She had recently returned to the Algoma area after retiring in 2019.
