Carol Brogan

Carol Brogan, 76, of South Abington Twp. died at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania on Thursday evening. She was the widow of John Brogan, who died in 2005. The couple had been married 37 years.

Born in Scranton, she was the daughter of the late Walter and Jane Hughes Morgan. She was a graduate of West Scranton High School. Prior to her retirement, she worked in accounting at Tobyhanna.

Carol enjoyed family get-togethers, daily FaceTime with her grandsons and monthly luncheons with her friends. As a little girl, her grandfather, Luther, often took her to the firehouse to visit the dalmatians. Many years later her children adopted a dalmatian, who Carol aptly named Luther. Luther was the best friend Carol didn't realize she needed. When Carol and Jack were young, they traveled and lived throughout Europe. More recently, Carol was able to revisit Spain and Wales, as she loved her Welsh heritage. Carol was devoted to donating to various charities such as Friends of the Poor.

Surviving are son, Tim Brogan of Tannersville; daughter, Julie Brogan and her companion Jesus Chevere of Miami, Fla.; sister, Dianne Musgrave (Bill); and sister, Sherri Maher; special cousin, Shirley Coppola; brother-in-law, Tom Brogan (Joan); brother-in-law, Joe Brogan (Marlene); sister-in-law, Mary Brogan; grandchildren, Jace and Jaden Chevere of Florida; several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

A funeral will be held on Tuesday at 10 a.m. at Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home and Cremation Services Inc., 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit, with services by Rev. Dr. Elliott Cooke, pastor of Jackson Street Baptist Church. Interment will follow at Cathedral Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Monday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Friends of the Poor, 2300 Adams Ave., Scranton, PA 18509.
