Personal life

Enersen was born in San Mateo, California, to Irving "Stan" and Evelyn Stanislaw, while her father was serving in the U.S. Navy.

The family moved to Magnolia when she was young and attended Our Lady of Fatima School. She then attended Mercer Island High School, where she swam and graduated in 1962. She attended Pomona College and transferred to Stanford University, earning a bachelor's degree in 1966.

Enersen married Dr. Bruce Carter, president and CEO of ZymoGenetics, in 1997. Her previous marriages were to cinematographer Dick Enersen and businessman Paul Skinner, the father of her two daughters.

She still devotes some of her life to running, swimming, skiing, and biking, along with walking. She eats an extremely healthy diet of fish, chicken, and green leaves. The diet fits with her daily exercise, starting at five in the morning.
