Carol Billings Obituary
Carol Billings, 77, died on May 30, 2024 at her home in Bristol, CT while under hospice care surrounded by her loved ones after a brief illness.
Carol was born on Dec. 25, 1946 in Glens Falls, NY to parents Leon Amell and Hilda (Moulton). She was a stay at home mom while her children were young and returned to the workforce once her children were in school. She held many jobs over the years, retiring from New England Aircraft in Farmington, CT after about 15 years.
Carol is survived by her children Scott (Debbie), Jeanna (Paul) Ouellette, and Russell, her siblings Leona (Bill) Bibby, Glenn Amell, and Sharlene (Mike) Freebern, sister in law Velda (Phil) Ruest, and brother in law James (Betty) White, and her four granddaughters Courtney, Emily, Amber (Dom), and Emerson, as well as her beloved cat Trouble. Carol was predeceased by her husband of 57 years, Richard, her parents, as well as her brother Edward and sisters in law Nancy and Judy.
Carol was an avid fan of the New York Yankees, UCONN Huskies, trips to the casino and listening to her oldies & country music, especially Elvis Presley. She also enjoyed spending time with her family, her granddaughters were the light of her life! She also really enjoyed her tea time visits with her best friend of over 40 years, Louise Saucier.
Carol's family would like to extend their gratitude to the nurses & aides of the Hartford Healthcare Hospice Team for their compassionate care during her time at home. They would also like to extend a special thank you to Louise Saucier, Velda Ruest, and Lori Martin, each one giving in their own way to help care for Carol and support the family during her final days at home.

Sorry to hear about Carol. She was always one of my favorite cousins. I remember going to Pennsylvania for a week with her. I always laugh at the memory of her helping me buy my first bra. Of course she was 5 years older than me and I was 12. She was much more experienced at such things and I thought she was the expert. Of course she's with your dad now right where she wants to be.
