Carol J. Benjamin, 91, of Glastonbury passed away on Sunday, October 19, 2025. Carol was born in Hartford on December 17, 1933, to the late Katherine (Gonyea) and John MacPherson. She grew up riding horses, rollerblading, ice skating, and played as a softball pitcher in her youth. One of Carol's favorite vacations was the family's annual vacation on Cape Cod. She loved buying lottery tickets and playing slot machines, especially after her father had bought only one ticket for the Irish Sweepstakes, and won.
