She was quick to be put others first and truly enjoyed time with her cherished family. With her sincere welcoming spirit, Carol’s home was always open to everyone. She loved the holidays with family. One of the best days of the week were always Sunday for her, She knew no matter what, her grandson Tony would be coming for a visit and bringing her lunch or dinner. They shared the most remarkable memories about the past every week, and as she grew more tired,those visits became some of her most cherished moments.

Carol would want you to remember that family is everything and that no matter what you fight about, no matter how much time passes between visits, no matter the distance you live apart, family is love, life, and happiness and no money or tangible item can ever replace spending time together.

Funeral services will be private. Memorial contributions may be made in Carol’s name to Ronald McDonald House, 139 S. Lake Ave. Albany, NY 12208.
