She was involved in 20 different ministries at Holy Family Church in Stow for 55 years while being a Registered Nurse for 59 years. Carolyn was a graduate of Barberton High School and St. Thomas Hospital School of Nursing. Preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Mary Gruber; Richard’s parents, Joseph and Marie Vanco, she is survived by husband, Richard; children, Monica Baird, and Curtis (Cheryl Yoder) Baird; two brothers; two sisters, and many nieces and nephews.
