Her life was dedicated to her family. She was a partial caregiver to her

parents in their later years. Carol “lived for her guys"—husband Ted,

“one and only" son Jeff, and “best friends" grandsons Zachary and

Matthew. Like most grandparents she preserved every visit with her

grandsons.

During her tenure with the school district she was supportive of the

students activities and fund raisers. Both she and Ted enjoyed attending the high school football games each season.  Following her retirement she took pleasure attending her grandson’s sporting events, entertaining in her home, playing slots at the casinos, attending the Pitt Panther football games and traveling.  She looked forward to trips to the Caribbean Islands with Ted each year selecting a different one to visit.  Through the years, prior to her arthritis and vision problems, she enjoyed snowmobiling, bowling and the game of golf.  She revered her dearest friendships and considered her good neighbors, the Gobbie family, her extended family.

Vince Gigliotti of the Church of St. Anne.  Family and friends are asked to gather directly at the Church of St. Anne.  Interment will be at the Belle Vernon Mausoleum.  Funeral arrangements entrusted to the Parzynski Funeral Home & Cremations, Family Owned and Operated, 626 Broad Avenue, Belle Vernon 724-929-6183.
