Condolences
My deepest condolences to all the family . I have many fond memories of Aunt Carol over the years. Are prayers are with you ! Mike & Anne Duffey
— Mike & Anne Duffey, February 15, 2026Condolences to Lori,Jamie,Kevin @ family. Being sisters, we had lots of fun growing up. Carol asked me to be her maid of honor for her wedding. It was a beautiful wedding,and she looked lovely. She was a caring mother and wife. I always can remember parts of our life, and all the funny times we had. The one story that is so clear is when Carol , age3, and Billy, age 2, wondered away from home in Fordwich, An alarm went out, and a group of men and children went looking for them. A farmer found Billy, and took him back on his tractor. The group heard a dog barking near the railroad tracks. They found Carol asleep on the grass beside the tracks. Our little dog had stayed with Carol the whole time, He was our hero. A newspaper wrote a poem about this ordeal. I still have this poem. Rest in peace little sister. From: Your Big Sister Marilyn
— Marilyn Albrecht Duffey, February 10, 2026Aunt Carol was such a lovely and fun loving woman. I will always be grateful for the moments I was able to share with her and the memories I can reflect on. One very special memory was when Aunt Carol, Mom, Lori and myself went to the disco together. We had such a wonderful time that night dancing and laughing. She was a very special Aunt to me and I will miss her. Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss.
Love, Trish Duffey-Spilker & Rick Spilker
Dear Jamie, Lori (Peter) and Kevin (Jennifer) and families.
Carol was a kind, loving sister and sister-in-law. We had many great times together while living in the same city, before your family moved to Australia.
I remember Lori and Carol’s last visit to London, shortly before she became ill. We had a great time, laughing and joking about years gone by.
She was blessed to have children that cared for her.
Our sincere sympathy goes out to your families.
May Carol rest in eternal peace.
With Love Uncle Bill & Aunt Marg
Sending our love and prayers to you, Kevin, Jen and family. She certainly raised a fantastic son.
— Vanessa and Chris Lokos, January 30, 2026My deepest condolences to all the family at this time. To Jamie, Laurie and Kevin: Your mom was very cool. Thats the way I always thought of her. I have many memories of your mom throughout the years. As far back as I can remember, your mom would come over to our place and hang out with my mom and chat. I remember your mom always asking how I was and what I was up to. As an adult, I used to see her quite often when she was working at Eaton's and we would always talk for a few minutes. When I was married, we had a very small wedding, but I invited your mom because of that link. Even though years past, I always thought of your mom (and Uncle Bud, of course), because they meant something to me and those memories were important. She was a kind human being and, as I said, very cool.
Rest in peace Aunt Carol.
One sincere condolences to your family.
— John and Donna Kunkel, January 27, 2026Our deepest sympathy goes out to Lori and Peter and their family.
Carol was friendly person, willing to take the time to have a conversation with anyone. Very often my late wife, Laurie, would sit in the back yard and talk for hours with Lori and Carol. Carol always asking my wife how she was doing. Interested more in my wife's condition than her own.
Carol could be often found outside in the nice weather gardening with Lori or just resting in the shade enjoying watching the birds and squirrels.
Carol is a at rest now. God bless her.
Brian, MacKenzie and Margie
