Carol Larson Obituary

Niantic - Carol W. Larson, 90, of Brainerd Road, Niantic, went to be with the Lord; her husband, Ring; parents, Franklin and Anna; brothers; Frank, Charlie, Kenny, Allen "Jiggs" and David; and sisters, Lillian, Shirley and Ginny April 17, 2025. A force to be reckoned with, she was the last of the Wentworth family to earn her wings.

Carol, a native of East Lyme and proud New Englander, loved life and was devoted to her family. She is survived by her son Allen Larson (Heather); daughter Lillian Liebenthal (Daniel); grandchildren, Brittany Fluet (Jeffrey), Matthew Liebenthal and Wade Larson; great-granddaughter Isla Mae Fluet; and many nieces and nephews; as well as several great-nieces and nephews, all of whom she cherished deeply.

Carol enjoyed celebrating life with family and friends. She was always so happy to be around her loved ones, ready to reminisce and make new memories; and she was never without her quick, witty remarks that would send people laughing. She especially looked forward to her Tuesday weekly get-togethers with special friends, Wynn Boutin and Linnea Mazzulli.

The family would like to extend their thanks to the Waterford VNA, Hartford Hospice, and caregiver Carolyn Smallidge for their exceptional support and care in recent months.

Family and friends are invited to gather 11 a.m. Thursday, April 24, for a graveside service at East Lyme Cemetery with a reception at Filomena's Restaurant immediately following. Memorial donations may be made to Flanders Baptist and Community Church in East Lyme. Please visit www.fultontherouxniantic.com for directions and to leave a tribute for the family.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
