Mrs. Traina was my high school biology teacher back when I was in the class of ‘07 at NTHS. She was a stellar instructor with a heart of gold who didn’t just want her students to excel in their studies, she wanted them to be righteous to each other and be a light in an otherwise not-so-bright world. She will be dearly missed. 

Mrs. Traina was my biology and botany teacher at North Tonawanda High School. She was one of my favorite teachers as she was always very encouraging of students learning more and following their passions. Her botany class changed my career path and inspired my love for plants. Because of her, I went on to go to school for Horticulture and received my degree. May she rest in peace. I will forever be grateful to her for her knowledge, kindness, and support.

Carol was a faithful servant of the Savior whom she loved. I'll always be grateful for her friendship and encouragement to press on in the calling God gave me.

Mrs. Traina was absolutely instrumental in teaching me that I didn't have to choose between faith and science at a time when I was being told from both directions that they could not coexist. As an adult I have been both blessed and honored to pass that information along to others, both young and old. Her influence goes far beyond the school where she taught and I consider myself so fortunate to have known her! 

Mrs. Traina was a good teacher at NTHS. The kind of teacher who you could tell deep down really cared about her students. I had a big issue with attendence and she would always allow me extra credit and to come down during my study halls to make up work. Such a nice lady. Very sad to hear this news and my deepest condolences to her family.

Mrs. Traina was the best teacher I had at NTHS. I always looked forward to botany with her. I was also part of the animal club which she ran after school. Also gardening club in the summertime.  So many good memories were made in her class and after school.  Thank you Mrs. Traina for the memories.  Wishing the family peace at this time.  

Mrs. Traina was a one-in-a-million kind of teacher. She was very kind and very understanding, always checking in with my peers to see if I was doing alright during my struggles with mental illness. She was always the class I looked forward to in the day and she always spoke in soft, loving tones. To say that she will be missed is an infernal understatement, for I am merely one of many who she has touched through teaching and simple everyday living. May she rest in peace and be reunited with her loved ones in Heaven. God bless her and her family.

Mark. Our deepest sympathies go out to you and yours .
I know how tough a time this was for you.

"to everything there is a season. And a time to every purpose, under heaven".
Better times will happen. Peace to your Carol.

All the best, Bob and Susie Mancuso.

With God, her joy is eternally sealed and our memories of her as fellow teacher and friend provide us comfort.  May the family find peace in their sorrow. 

Carol was my Bible Quizzing coach from 8th-12th grade. I can genuinely say she was the kindest and most patient person I have ever met, and I’ve encountered a lot of great people. She loved God and others fiercely and has truly left a great legacy. 

I am honored to have been one of her students, class of 2006. I loved going to her class and allowed me a love for science. May you rest in eternal peace, Mrs. Traina. 

Carol was one of our youth leaders during my time in the KAC youth group and will always hold a special place in my heart. I’ll always remember the annual girl time chats in the tower at Harvey Cedars where she would talk to all the girls about being a Godly woman and the importance of purity.  I will remember her for her complete honesty anytime someone asked a question- and I always knew we could talk to her about anything.  She was a gift of a woman and she really did run her race and ran it well.  You will be missed, Carol.  We love you! Love- Katie and Derek Reed

She really was one of a kind. A woman of true faith. One of my favorite teachers. 

I had her as a teacher for my 9th grade science class in 2014-2015. She was always such a considerate and caring teacher. Also, she was the faculty member part of the Animal Club at NTHS. I always loved learning from her and loved listening to the stories she would talk about in class. My deepest condolences for her family. I will miss you Ms. Traina ❤️

Carol was a genuine sweetheart, always putting others first.  I had the honor and privilege of teaching with Carol at North Tonawanda High School for nearly three decades and was always impressed by her positivity and good cheer.  She was an absolute gem! 

Mrs Traina was one of the best teachers I ever had in high school. Not only was she a teacher, but also a friend. I enjoyed being in her botanical classes and botany club after school each week. And she was always available to lend an ear for anyone who had troubles. May she find everlasting peace with Lord Jesus and I pray for comfort and healing to her family.

My sincere condolences to your wonderful family. I had the privilege of working with Carol at NTHS many years ago. We also enjoyed time sharing our faith together. She was truly a lovely woman who cared deeply for others. I pray for peace and comfort for your family. 

Carol was a very special person to so many.  While at NTHS. we ran a prayer chain that consisted of many members from our faculty. Carol graciously offered her classroom after school for a student run Christian club. She was truly a servant of our lord who overflowed with the power of the Holy Spirit.  Rest in piece Carol.

Mrs. Traina was my biology teacher in 2014-2015. Her class brought me and my fiancé together. She would also bring in kittens and I was luckily enough to adopt one! She holds a special place in my heart. Prayers to the family. Rest In Peace Mrs. Traina 🕊

Mrs. Traina was an amazing teacher. I met her freshman year but I didn't have her classes until my senior year. I had to do an entire credit recovery course to graduate and Mrs. Traina learned the lessons with me and took the time to help me pass. Everytime I was having a hard day she let me vent to her and I always felt better talking to her, she was one of the kindest and most accepting teachers I've ever had, I'm going to miss her dearly. Rest in peace Mrs. Traina, and thank you for believing in me and everyone else during the pandemic

Carol and Mark took our little family of four in when we would come up North for summers during the art show season. Their gracious hospitality blessed our growing family as toddlers ran around their house. She was an amazing woman and friend, generous and servant hearted. Mark was a wonderful husband and father.  May the Lord step in to fill her place as she enters into her eternal life with her Father. She is irreplaceable, and yet she forged a path for others to follow: may we find the courage and strength to also set our faces toward heaven. Amen

Mrs. Traina was my favorite high school teacher and animal club leader. High school was very emotionally draining for me and I struggled often to make it through the day. Her kindness always made me feel welcome in class. I always looked forward to mornings in her class. Her passion for plants and animals inspired me to reach for a career with my passion. She will always be in my heart <3
