Carol Stirling Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 8, 2025.
Carol Baldasare Stirling passed away on August 30, 2025, at the age of 79, in Castle Rock, Colorado. Born on May 13, 1946, Carol dedicated much of her life to education as a substitute teacher, shaping the minds of young learners with her wisdom and kindness.

Carol graduated from Danbury High School in 1964 and furthered her education at Mount Ida College, where she cultivated a lifelong love of learning that she would later pass on to her students.

She was an active member of Christ's Episcopal Church in Castle Rock, where she found a strong sense of community and spiritual peace. Carol also had a passion for horseback riding, a hobby that brought her great joy and tranquility throughout her life.

Carol is survived by her loving husband, James; her children, Kimberly Stirling Winder (Keven) and James H. Stirling II; and her grandchildren, Karley and Kalvin. She leaves behind a legacy of love, education, and faith that will be cherished by all who knew her.
