Gross, and Marilyn (Bill Philabaum) Weingarth; and her special friend and neighbor Betty Carruthers.
Carol was preceded in death by her parents; her loving husband of fifty-five years Larry G. Ortt, and her son Mike Ortt.
A visitation will be held at the Church of Christ and Christian Union, 560 W State St Newcomerstown, Ohio 43832 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Friday, April 4, 2025.

Even though she was our aunt, we simply called her Carol. She felt more like a close cousin. My best memories took place at the farmhouse where she grew up in Isleta: the outhouse, Old Stone Fort, coffee over big saltine squares. Carol was, perhaps, the meekest person I've known. Several years ago she gave me the news I wanted to hear: she had given her life to Christ and was baptized. What a joy to know she is with mom and other loved ones now, but especially with her Savior!
