Carol was the epitome of a team mom — with four sons there was soccer, baseball, hockey and basketball, throw in being a Cub Scout Den Mother, she was always on the go. Her home was an “easy” place to go to and it was always open to family and friends — making themselves at home, getting something to eat or just playing Atari. In Carol’s “spare” time she was active at Trinity Episcopal Church and at various times worked at Fair City Food, Benoit’s, Oneida and Serendipity.

Carol is survived by her four sons: David, Jr. of Bath, Chris of Portland, Todd of Auburn, Peter of Yarmouth and 12 grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband David (1997), her sister Sally Cummings Sawyer (2010) and her sister Julie Cummings Caverly (2012).
