I graduated with Carol from St. Mary’s High School class of 1968. I also went to Quinnipiac College (now University) and hold a degree in Cytotechnology from there too. I have very fond memories of Carol in school. We had a lot of classes together. I remember when she was on the basketball team and her sister too. I have enjoyed lovely conversations with her at all of our high school reunions. She was very dedicated on the committees for our reunions. She and I were also Facebook friends. She often posted lovingly about her family. I know she adored them and was very proud of them. She was such a delightful person. She will be sorely missed. I’m praying that God will give her loved ones strength and comfort during this very sad and difficult time. 🌹✝️
I’m posting again because it didn’t show up the first time. I graduated from St. Mary’s High School class of 1968 with Carol. I also hold a degree from Quinnipiac College (now University) in Cytotechnology. I have very fond memories of Carol from our school years. We had a lot of classes together. I remember when she played on the basketball team and her sister too. I have enjoyed lovely conversations with her at all of our high school reunions…of which she was a dedicated committee member for our reunions. Carol and I were also Facebook friends. I so enjoyed her posts. Many of her post were lovingly about her family. Clearly she just adored them and was very proud of them. She was such a delightful person. She will be sorely missed. I am praying for strength and comfort for all of her loved ones during this sad and difficult time. 🌹✝️
Carol grew up just a few blocks from me. Carol, Rita Esposito (Gianotti) and I use to hang out since we were kids. She was always a kind-hearted person and there when you needed her. She was a blessing to so many! My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
My sincere condolences to you Louie and your family. Carol was a beautiful person outside and within. I have so many fond memories of all the fun times we shared in our earlier years. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Peace and love- Carmela
A beautiful life cut short. Carol & I went to grammar school together then to St. Mary’s. As kids, we enjoyed many fun & crazy times at Overbrook School. Then on to St. Mary’s. More fun times planning the proms & after prom & so much more. Carol was always there for whatever you needed. Always the Helping Hand…This seems so unreal that this kind, loving, generous, wife, mother, Nana, sister, godmother & friend was taken from us too soon. I trust the beautiful memories with her family will comfort you all & know she no longer has to fight & is free of pain. Her journey has just begun.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I’m so sorry for your loss Carra. May fond memories of your Mom comfort you and bring a smile to your face. I won’t be able to make the services, but know I would be there if I could. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
We are so very sorry to hear of Carol’s passing. We have wonderful memories of Carol and the family. Carol’s selflessness and unconditional love for all her OLOV children is something that we will always remember and cherish. Her way of relating to and caring for all her students, including our daughter Olivia, made them excited to return each day.
Our sincere sympathies to her husband Lou, her daughters Landa and Carra, and their families. May God bless Carol and all of you during this very difficult time.
To all of you I offer you my deepest and heartfelt sympathy. Carol was a wonderful person and a person I called friend for over 50 years. She cared so deeply about her family and you all gave her so much joy and love. May God bless all of you especially during this most difficult time. She will be missed by many.
I was saddened to hear about Carol passing away. A friend told me today. It is your time to cry, laugh, be silly ,be anything you want because she isn’t here in body, however her life growing up, raising a family became her greatest role, now she extends her life to you. There will be signs everywhere so long as you show your love to all, remember the good times and the wonderful life she gave you. Be at peace as she is now.
My prayers and sincere condolences go out to Carols family for their tragic loss. May she rest in peace with our lord and know she will always be with you all.
My sincere sympathy to your family. May your memories bring you comfort and God’s promise of the resurrection give you hope of the time when you can be reunited with her. (Acts 24:15; Revelation 21:3-5)
