Carol Van Scoyoc Obituary
Carol Lynn Van Scoyoc, of White Plains, NY, passed away February 12, 2017. She was 56. Carol was born February 16, 1960 in Englewood, NJ to Elaine H. Pasqua and the late William E. Van Scoyoc.

I just learned of Carol's passing in the Alumni notes of the Manhattan College Alumni Publication 'M'. Carol and I shared many classes and Professors while earning our undergraduate degree in Government and Politics from the College. She had an absolutely brilliant mind and was a remarkable human being. She was my friend and fellow and I will never ever forget her. Carol was beautiful inside and out! May she rest in peace and my deepest sympathy to her family. Ann Marie Neville '82

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

Deeply sorry to read of Carol's death. My husband John and I worked with Carol in Westchester County government. My husband especially worked closely with Carol on matters relating to the County's bond portfolio. He had a deep and abiding liking and respect for Carol, and thought highly of her intelligence, competence and integrity. Our sympathy and condolence to Carol's family.
