Carole Ethel Brandt

Carole Ethel Brandt, beloved sister, aunt, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 24, 2025, at the age of 85. Born on January 4, 1940, in Glen Rock, New Jersey, Carole was the daughter of William Adam Emil Brandt and Miriam Adelia Siney Brandt.

Carole graduated from Cedar Crest College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, before moving to Plantation, Florida, in 1968 to pursue graduate studies in Education and begin a lifelong career dedicated to teaching. She went on to earn a Specialist Degree in Education and spent 25 years serving the Broward County School System as both teacher and administrator. Carole concluded her career as Principal of The Seagull School, where she worked closely with children with special needs-an enduring passion that defined her life's work.

A devoted Christian, Carole lived her faith through her kindness, service, and love for others. Following her retirement, she embraced her adventurous spirit, traveling to more than 20 countries and experiencing the richness of cultures around the world.

Carole will be remembered for her compassion, dedication, and the deep love she had for her family and friends. She is survived by her sister, Shirley Ruth Brandt Campbell, and brother-in-law, Richard Campbell; niece, Beth Anne Campbell Bertolami (Vince Bertolami); nephews, Gregg Campbell, Brian Dukelow (Christy Dukelow), and Adam Dukelow (Lesley Dukelow); four great-nieces, Grace, Cora, Adeline, and Vivianne Dukelow; and three great-nephews, Tyler, Chance, and Trey Bertolami.
