Carol found joy in various pastimes that brought her happiness. She had a special fondness for the casino, where she loved playing the slot machines, and the camaraderie found in playing bingo. Additionally, Carol enjoyed watching crime drama shows, particularly her favorite, “Blue Bloods." She also had a sweet tooth and delighted in indulging in her favorite treats.

Carol is survived by her beloved husband, Anthony C. Piraino; her loving children, Kimberly A. Sommers, Anthony Piraino, and Cynthia Deegan.
