Carol and Ron had two daughters, Kimberly (Pat) Boryca and Cheri (Jim) Weidner. Grandchildren Andrew Huster, Nicole Weidner, Anna Weidner.
Carol’s name was prophetic as she blossomed into a gifted singer and musician. She was the pipe organist, beginning at age 15, at St. Peter’s UCC in Pleasant Ridge, Ohio where she played until 1985.
She was the pianist for the senior choir at the newly built Woodward High School under Robert McSpadden (Class of ‘57). She maintained many of her high school friendships throughout her life. Her nickname was “Sunshine”.

She played for numerous theater groups and venues throughout the Cincinnati area.
Later in life, Carol worked as a Pharmacy Technician at Madeira Kroger for 15 years.
Her later in life companion Jerry preceded her in death.
Music meant everything to Carol. She passed on her love of music to all who knew her. She could play nearly any tune by heart. She played for the chapel services and celebrations at Maple Knoll Village and even led a resident sing-along group until recently. The family wishes to thank all the staff and friends from Maple Knoll Village where Carol lived for seven years.

“Carol had known me since I was a child at St. Peter’s where my mother, Norma Acosta and I, sang in choir. She is one of the last that knew my mom well and still called me Linnie. She also played for my wedding. Such a good soul and loving person. Will miss knowing she is no longer spreading her talent and joy in this world. Tell mom hello Carol.”

“So many memories of Carol. , With Ronnie, the girls as little girls, St. Peter’s Choir, Mom in the Mellodears,singing soloist with Carol a number of times. I last saw her a year ago at Maple Knoll, She was a wonderful person and an amazing musician. I will always treasure the memories I have of knowing her and working with her over the years. I am smiling to think of one Easter, many year ago we had “Mark” ( a great young singer with the choir) and she wanted to DO the Hallelujah Chorus for 3 services… wow. It was incredible to DO it 3 times in one morning We did it too! . I will have Carol and all the family in my prayers. God Bless and rest in peace Carol.”

“We will miss Mom and the way she could belt out a song for any occasion. Or the way she’d hear a phrase and start singing something that it would remind her of. And we would sigh or laugh at that ability. She would call when a bride would request an unfamiliar song and ask “Do you know it?Hum a few bars” In the background you could hear the piano as she’d exclaim “ Oh, this one?!” And from just hearing that little bit of the song the bride would get her wish. Truly gifted.”

“Bob and I are sending our condolences to the entire family. Carol was a special person and although we only saw each other a couple of times I considered the Cincinnati family as part of our family. Now they are together again. Love Christiane and Bob”
