Not sure what to say?

So sorry to read. She was in my graduation class of 1960. My sympathies go out to her family.

Brian and Family, Sorry for your Loss.

To share your mom with Much ACS for so many years was quite a challenge for you, yet, your were always first in her heart and mind, her everything. She was happy to be able to be near you for so many years after she left ACS.
May the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for each of us, bring you and your family peace in this time of sorrow.

Carol was my tenant for so many years at University Park. She would call me to come and help her with things as needed, and would always offer up a beautiful smile and amazing sense of humor. God bless this angel with a beautiful heart. My condolences to her family.

Brian, we didn't know your mom but can see from her picture that your full-faced, joyful smile comes from her. I'm sure you reflect her in many other ways as well Let us know if there's any way we can help you through this sad time. With love, Carolyn and Adam

Carol Witchey will forever and always hold a special place in my heart. She was my Drama Coach in so many productions over the years, I've lost count. In our production of "Our Town", after the curtain call, she approached me with tears running down her face and an enormous smile with such praise that I have cherished my entire life. She was a force to be reckoned with; we'll miss that laughter & love; FOREVER. Trip the lights Fantastic in Heaven, Ms. Witchey, and know how very much you...

Your mom was my teacher at Williamson High School in Tioga, PA in the 1965-66 school year. Now, I realize she was only five years older than our class. She was so pretty, and never had a hair out of place. I have often wondered where she was, and didn't realize she was teaching right across the hill from where I have lived all my life. I am so sorry for your loss. May God comfort all of you.

"Because I knew you, I have been changed for good." --Wicked, Stephen Schwartz.

This obituary captures Carol in every way. She was one of my favorite teachers (Addison)and I can still remember her laugh. My friend Nikki Llewellyn and I had her in hysterics when we did our final drama project which was a 'talent show'. Carol was also my 'ride' back and forth to Corning for the weekends. My sympathies to all of you and hope all the wonderful memories help ease your loss. Sandy (Stetler) Diamond

I am saddened by the loss of such a great teacher, mentor and second "mom" to all of us who admired and looked up to this phenomenal spirit. RIP Carol...

Keeping Brian, Lisa and kids in my thoughts and prayers.
