Carol Ann Szabo

Carol Ann Stevens Szabo, 75, briefly of Darien, departed this life Wednesday, March 9, 2022, at SGHS Brunswick Campus after an extended illness. A memorial service will be conducted at 11 am Friday, March 18, 2022, in the chapel of Edo Miller and Sons Funeral Home with Reverend Tommy Whaley officiating.

Born September 28, 1946, in Wilmington, Delaware, she was a life-long resident of south Florida before moving to Darien to be closer to her relatives. She married Stephen, affectionately called Stevie, on February 17, 1979. Later that same year, Carol began working in the business office of Farrey’s Lighting and Bath. She retired in late December of 2008 after 29 years of service.

Carol enjoyed arts and crafts, knitting and crocheting, solving puzzles, and watching NFL football, especially the Miami Dolphins. She was an avid reader and movie watcher, an animal lover, and an all-around good Samaritan. She was a connoisseur of all things Scottish and took great satisfaction in staying up to date with current events. She carried a deep love for her friends, family, and pets, but more than all, she loved the Lord.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 42 blessed years, Stephen E. Szabo, of Hollywood, Florida; parents, Russell C. Grant Sr. and Anna Poore Grant, of Miami, Florida; a brother and sister-in-law, Robert A. Stevens and Diane S. Stevens, of Miami, Florida; and a sister, Cynthia A. Gwatley, of Florida.

She was survived by two sisters, Ruth Dinkins and husband Van (Sr.) of Darien, Georgia and Crystal Lee of South Carolina; three nephews, Michael Stevens of Texas, Russell Dinkins (Sabrina) of Darien, and Van Dinkins, Jr. (Regina) of Darien; three nieces, Sharon Baxley (Darrin) of St. Augustine, Tiffany Frazier (Johnny) of Atlanta, and Vera Logue (Bo) of Darien; several great nieces and nephews; as well as close friends, Mike and Denise Hilton, the Carver’s, and the McKee’s.

Carol especially will be remembered for her incredible sense of humor, contagious laughter, and zeal for life. She was a beautiful soul.

The family will receive friends from 10 am Friday, March 18, 2022, until the funeral hour at Edo Miller and Sons Funeral Home and at the reception immediately following the memorial. www.edomillerandsons.com
