Along with her parents and beloved partner, Carol was preceded in death by her five siblings.

Carol graduated high school from Willis High School in Delaware. She worked in the accounting world; but was also a dedicated Mom. Family meant everything to Carol.

She loved to backyard garden, go shopping, and get out in the world to explore life. She loved to bake for her grandchildren in their early years. She was known for her cheesecakes and pies; but anything made, was made with heart.

She was a parishioner of St. Paul’s the Apostle Catholic Church in Westerville. Carol loved her daily cup of Starbucks coffee shared with her family.

A service to honor Carol’s life will be held privately at the convenience of the family. A Celebration of Life Gathering will be planned in the New Year; please check back for times.
