Born in Nulato, Territory of Alaska, Carlo was a founding member of the Fairbanks Native Association (FNA) and also served for the Alaska Bicentennial Commission board, as well as a consultant for the Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC).[2] She was the author of Nulato: An Indian Life on the Yukon, which was dedicated in memory of her son, Stewart, who died in 1975 in an auto accident.[3]
Carlo married William "Bill" Carlo in 1940. The marriage produced eight children: five sons (William Jr., Kenny, Walter, Glenn and Stewart), and three daughters (Dorothy, Lucy and Kathleen). She resided in Fairbanks, Alaska.[4]
A building in downtown Fairbanks owned by FNA was christened the Poldine Carlo Building in her honor.
