Carol loved living in Florida, spending time with friends, and rooting for the Buffalo Bills! She had a deep impact on those around her with her quiet grace and gentle nature.
Carol is survived by her children Michael (Melissa) Boyack of Rochester, New York and Sharon (Craig) Myers of Cuba, New York; two grandchildren: Casey and Patrick Boyack, and many friends who will miss her kindness, grace, quiet strength and infectious smile.
