Carol’s career was marked by her steadfast commitment to her country. She served as a civilian for the United States Army, retiring in 2001 after years of dedicated service.
Carol was a talented artist. Whether she was sketching or painting, she had a unique ability to capture the beauty of the world around her on canvas. However, her creativity wasn’t limited to the canvas; she was also a master in the kitchen, widely known for her famous cheesecakes.
Carol truly enjoyed the Christmas season. Carol was a firm believer that the spirit of the holidays should never fade; she was famously known to listen to Christmas music all year round, finding joy in the melodies of the season regardless of the date on the calendar.
Loving mother of Kenneth (Laura Praglin) Atkinson, Kevin (Lorrie) Atkinson and Ronald (Saranne) Atkinson. Proud grandmother of Kimberly Atkinson. Dear cousin of JoAnn Rieck. She also leaves behind her beloved companion, her cat, Dusty.
A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, May 21, 2026 at 1PM at Parkview Church of Christ, 3333 East Thirteen Mile Road, Warren, MI 48092. Please share a memory with Carol’s family on his online guestbook.
