Carole Sweeney Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born on June 25, 1940 in Baltimore Maryland, she was the daughter of the late Edward George Gischel Jr. and Margaret Gishel (nee Roder). She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William Daniel Sweeney.
After full lives in Baltimore, she and her husband Bill retired to their favorite place: the beach of Ocean City Maryland, moving to Berlin. Carole worked for several businesses in the area including the Worcester County Commission on Aging where she eventually ran the Ocean City Center, before retiring again. Carole enjoyed spending her days reading and caring for her beloved dogs.
Carole is survived by her daughter, Jennifer; her cherished dog Mollie; close friends Richard and Shirley Ridgell, and Julia Pitts, and treasured friends and neighbors. The family is also grateful for the caring staff of Guiding Hands Assisted Living, Visiting Angels, and Coastal Hospice.
A memorial service will be planned at a later date to honor Carole's wishes for her ashes. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Coastal Hospice or the Worcester County Humane Society.
