Carol was a member of Central Trinity United Methodist Church, worked at Campbell's Grocery in South Zanesville before retiring and enjoyed spending winters at Traveler's Rest Resort in Dade City, Florida, where she enjoyed clogging.

Three grandchildren A.J. Cassie, and Jordee Harper. Brother and sister-in-law David and Laura Harper. Sisters and brothers-in-law Paul and Cecile Pletcher and Sharon Harper. Aunts and uncles Larry and Diane Smith, Donald and Mary Smith, Katie DeSarro, Jane DeSarro, Kathleen DeSarro, and Sally DeSarro. Several nieces and nephews and their families. Carol was proud of her Italian heritage and leaves many cousins to mourn her loss.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a sister-in-law Patricia Lee Harper.
No calling hours will be held. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. Fri. Apr. 28, 2017 at Central Trinity United Methodist Church with Pastor Steve Judson officiating. To sign the online guest book you may visit:

Her smile would light up the room and I always looked forward to seeing her outside on the corner as we entered the Lake. Not just a family member but my very first mentor as my boss in the concession stand. Her loving soul and such sweet heart will always be missed.

We all loved her dearly. We will miss her smiling face, sweet personality and her loving thoughts. All of us cousins always looked up to her not because she was a little older but because we admired her so much!!
