After graduating from Ridgemont High in Mount Victory, Ohio in 1965, she spent time living in multiple states across the country: New Jersey, Florida, Colorado, Georgia, and finally settling back in Florida. She spent years as a successful real estate agent in both New Jersey and Florida, before buying Homes & Land Magazine of Daytona Beach in 1989, which she operated until selling in 1996. Carol was always the adventurous type, which was easily seen from her time riding motorcycles, including being a member of Harley Owners Group (HOG), to the years she spent enjoying her travels around the country with her husband Ron in their RV. Always an avid Gator fan, Carol enjoyed spending her Saturdays watching Gator football with her family and friends.
Carol is survived by her husband Ron, sons Todd (Katrina) and Sean (Sarah), three stepsons: Bryan Pavlak, Scott Pavlak and Jason (Jennifer) Pavlak, brother Scott (Jeri) Elsasser, sister Alice (Steve) Bower, seven grandchildren and her dog Zion.

Her family wishes to thank everyone who cared for her during her last days and all those that extended their thoughts and prayers In recent days. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to Hospice.
To Those Left Behind
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy we had so many years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess
how much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have shown,
but now it’s time I travel alone.
So grieve awhile for me if you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for awhile that we must part,
so bless the memories within your heart.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me - call and I will come,
though you can’t see me or touch me, I’ll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear
all of my love around you soft and clear.
Then when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and “Welcome Home.”
COMPARTA UN OBITUARIO
