Carol Mellon

Carol had a remarkable talent for sewing, which she turned into a lifelong profession. With creativity and precision, she designed and crafted everything from elegant dresses to intricate ice skating outfits and imaginative costumes. Later, she became an accomplished quilter, creating beautiful, heartfelt quilts that she lovingly shared with others. Carol had a special fondness for teddy bears and cherished her own beloved collection. She also had a passion for sports and outdoor activities—she especially enjoyed swimming, tennis, ice skating, and skiing, many of which she and Bob delighted in doing together. Above all, Carol was a warm, kind-hearted soul whose presence brought joy and comfort to those around her. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
