Carol Ann Moryl

WATERVLIET Carol Ann Moryl, 80, entered Heaven with courage, dignity, and grace surrounded by her loving family on September 19, 2025.

Born in Cohoes, NY she was the daughter of the late Alice Lanthier (Freebern). Born a quiet, determined achiever she graduated from Watervliet High School and Putnam Memorial School of Nursing (LPN) in 1965. Carol's compassionate heart guided her career as an LPN and touched the lives of many who came through the doors of Cohoes Hospital, Albany Memorial Hospital, and Van Rensselaer Manor Nursing Home where she completed her life's work as an LPN in 2007.

Carol was the beloved wife of the late John F. Moryl, who died in 2005. She was predeceased by her sister Hazel A. Danko Hamrick, brother Harvey J. (Sadie) Lanthier, and long time companion, Larry Hockle.

She was survived by her brother, Dennis (Linda) Lanthier and several cherished nieces and nephews. She will be deeply loved forever by her children, Tracy Rooney, Ed Grant, John Moryl, Jessica Sumigray, and Michael (Catherine) Moryl. She is survived by her grandchildren, Joseph (Shradha) Rooney, John Rooney, Mary and Vincent Moryl, Olivia Sumigray, Michaela Moryl and her great granddaughter, Uma Patel Rooney.

Carol believed the most precious part of life was being in the company of her family and friends. The joy she experienced making special memories out of everyday moments, oceanside vacations, and celebrations will be remembered. Carol found her path in life with her God given determination and resilience, she raised children who lead, even in the most difficult times, armed with a sense of humor and with kindness for one another and others abundant in their hearts, and through the story of her life, she gave all her grandchildren the gift to trust in the power of love.
