Carol Etzel Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Carol's greatest joy was her family, and she loved her husband of 47 years, Jack, who predeceased her by just 85 days. She was renowned for her sharp wit, strong will, solid business sense, and soft spot for furry friends; her beloved daughters Sarah (Scott) and Megan (Jeremy) are proud to carry on this legacy.
A private family ceremony will be held. In lieu of flowers, please celebrate Carol's memory by bargain shopping with your loved ones, refilling the secret candy drawer, and celebrating each festive holiday. Arrangements were entrusted to the Ott Funeral Home, Inc., 805 Pennsylvania Ave. Irwin, Pa 15642. To leave an online condolence, please visit www.ottfuneralhome.com
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Carol, I will miss your smile and laugh and our phone conversations. You were more than an Aunt to me; you were a best friend. So many wonderful memories. Love you always, Suz
