The Artemis II mission has been making headlines since its successful launch on April 1, 2026. The mission’s four-person crew consisted of Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen. The 10-day operation is now complete, and the brave astronauts are back on Earth on April 10, 2026 (ET) with a Pacific Ocean splashdown. Interestingly, Reid Wiseman’s late wife, Carroll Taylor Wiseman, became part of the mission when his crewmates named a lunar crater after her. As Carroll’s name gets increasingly linked with Artemis II, here’s a look at her age gap with her husband.
Who was Reid Wiseman’s wife, Carroll Taylor Wiseman?
Carroll Taylor Wiseman dedicated her professional life to healthcare and serving others. She was a pediatric nurse practitioner who worked in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) and at the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters (CHKD). Carroll also served as a school nurse in Patuxent River, Maryland, and later in Friendswood, Texas. Talking about her academic background, she was a graduate of First Colonial High School, James Madison University, and Virginia Commonwealth University. Carroll married Reid Wiseman in 2003, and after 17 years of togetherness, she passed away.
