Carol Emily DeMars

DeMars Carol Emily DeMars. On Tuesday, December 2, 2015, God chose another beautiful flower for his bouquet. Our funny, fun-loving, silly, goofy, kind, wonderful, and loving sister, Carol Emily DeMars, 76, of The Lakes of Monclova, passed into the loving arms of God at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, South Detroit Avenue. Carol was born June 17, 1939, to Theodore and Bertha (Jones) DeMars, of Maumee, Ohio, where she grew up and graduated from Maumee High School in 1957. She worked for the government until she retired in 1994, starting out as a clerk typist at the Rossford Ordnance Depot, where military vehicles were stored and maintained until it closed in 1962. She then moved to Pasadena, California, to continue her employment with the government, until she returned to Ohio in 1972, to work at the Defense Construction Supply Center, Whitehall, Ohio, from where she retired in 1994. She was a long-time resident of Reynoldsburg, Ohio, until she returned to the Maumee area in 2012. Carol was an avid reader, often going to the library on a weekly basis to check out 4-5 books, only to return them the following week to check out 4 or 5 more. Her favorites were true stories of people who could overcome adversity, and a series of books about a fictional town known as "Mitford." She was also a talented painter who loved to paint wood ducks. She loved to shop but was always generous with giving to those in need. But her greatest gift was her ability to make people smile or laugh and was always ready with a joke. Carol was preceded in death by her parents Ted and Bertha, older sister Margaret Ann "Peg" Grund, and brother-in-law, John Bradley. She is survived by her long-time companion and significant other, Robert Sherrieb of Gahanna, Ohio; sisters, Ellen Bradley and Becky Stamper; brother-in-law, Darst (Eloise) Grund; cousins, Bud Clark (Bonnie) and Nancy Atkins (John); nephews, Ted (Sue) Grund, Steven (Anna) Grund; nieces, Deborah (Michael) Aked, Shelley (Ken) Halfpap, Cindy (Michael) Wagner, Jill (Steven) Niehoff; and many great nieces and nephews.
