Carol DeFoor Obituary

Carol Ann DeFoor (née Kunselman), 77, of Ringgold, PA, passed away on July 29, 2025 in Pittsburgh, PA. Born on May 10, 1948, in Punxsutawney. Carol was a beloved member of her community and a cherished figure within her family.
Carol graduated from Punxsutawney High School, where she formed many lifelong friendships and memories. She built a diverse career, dedicating herself to various roles including a store manager at Hallmark, a bank teller at PNC, and an auditor at Sears.
Her professional life was marked by a strong work ethic and dedication, traits that were deeply appreciated by her colleagues and friends.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Carol had a profound love for the ocean. She cherished trips to the seaside, finding peace and joy in the rhythmic sound of the waves. Her happiest moments were those spent surrounded by family and friends, sharing stories and making memories.
Carol is survived by her husband, Donald DeFoor; her brother, Ronald Kunselman and his wife Kathy; her children, Kimberly Blair and her husband David Cook, Michael Blair and his wife Renee, and Sherry DeFoor Seibert and her husband Shawn; and her beloved grandchildren, Marissa Blair LaLama and her husband Tony, Cole Seibert, Christian Thorne, Brady Thorne, and Alexandra Thorne. She was preceded in death by her parents, Harold B "Skip" Kunselman and Doris I Kunselman; her siblings, Beverly and Jerry Kunselman.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society, a cause close to Carol's heart. Her legacy of warmth, kindness, and resilience will continue to inspire those who knew her.
At the family's request, a private service will be held at a later time.

Carol was one of the dearest friends I´ve ever had. She was very present in the lives of those she loved. Whether you lived next door or states away, she would travel those miles to be sure your connection stayed strong.
Yes, she loved the beach and spent as much time there as she could. We spent many days in Erie just watching the waves and chatting about every!
And oh did she love her family! More than life itself! She was always so proud of how well everyone was doing in their lives. She would sit a talk about them and you couldn´t help but see the love she had for them.
I miss her greatly and I have picked up that phone to tell her about my day numerous times since she passed. I Love You Carol and I know you are happy and visiting with your Dad! RIP
