Carol, a beloved matriarch and a beacon of warmth and strength, passed away peacefully on October 14, 2026, at her home, surrounded by the family she cherished so deeply.

Her family was the center of her world, and she was a devoted grandmother to nine cherished grandchildren: Donovan Eslinger, Gary Rohlfs, Chantel Marie-Lynn, Mathew Rohlfs, Jordan Senegal, Savannah Oliver, Hailey Oliver, Hunter Oliver and Dylan Oliver. Carol's heart was further expanded by the joy of five great-grandchildren: Alyssa Eslinger, Aaron Eslinger, Eliana Marie, Kayley Rohlfs, and Logan Rohlfs, each of whom brought her immense pride and happiness. Throughout her life, Carol faced challenges with grace and courage, particularly during her long illness, which she battled with dignity and strength. Her spirit was indomitable, and her ability to find joy and light in the world was an inspiration to all who knew her. Carol's warmth extended beyond her family.
