She is survived by her children, Kirsten Fonfara of Windsor, CT, Susan Lewis (and Robert Tancredi) of Hazlet, NJ, Jeffrey Johnson of Glendale, CA, Rebecca (and Thom) Simmons of Long Beach, CA.

Carol grew up in Burlington, MA and graduated from Burlington High School. She then resided for a time in Woburn, MA, Medford, MA and in Southborough, MA where she raised her 4 children. Carol finally landed in South Carolina, a long time dream come true, where she made many more friends, added to the many that loved her in New England. She got her LPN and did private nursing. She later held administrative positions at Swift Ekrich, TJX Corporation and continued to work for her friend Sandy until this past year.

She was a woman of faith, always willing to help someone in need. Her passions included reading, gardening, enjoying the sunshine and the beach, dancing, and singing with the voice of an angel, harmonizing perfectly with her sister Gayle. She also enjoyed spending time with her cousin Marsha and many other cousins that she held so dear to her heart.
