Carol Kusnir Obituary
Carol J. Kusnir, 87, loving mother of five and adoring wife of 69 years to her husband John Kusnir, passed away February 8, 2026, in the comfort of her own home. Born on September 26, 1938, she was the daughter of the late Raymond and Beverly (Funkhouser) McLaughlin.
Carol had a wonderful sense of humor and an infectious laugh that made anyone who heard it laugh harder. She was the best listener and gave honest advice without judgement. Above all else, family meant everything to her.
Carol was proud of her heritage as a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Carol also cherished her time as a Rainbow Girl faithfully keeping the secret “word” no matter how many times she was asked. She loved the Pittsburgh Steelers but also enjoyed sports of all kinds. Aruba held a special place in her heart as did Sugarcreek, Ohio. Carol also enjoyed shopping and reading.
Carol enjoyed creating precious memories with her daughters. Their bond was filled with laughter, trust, and a love that shaped Carol’s life in a very meaningful way.
Carol will be remembered for her warmth, kindness and her unwavering love towards her family. She will be greatly missed.
