NELLISTON — Carol Ann Carbino joined her loved ones in the arms of the Lord on June 14, 2018 at St. Johnsville Nursing home.
She was born on Feb. 21, 1943, in Malone, New York to Edythe Paige Carbino and Harold Carbino. She resided in Nelliston, New York.
Carol attended grade school in a one-room school on Easy Street (Paul Smiths). Saranac Lake High School was where she attended for grades 7 through 12. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Buffalo in 1965. She taught art in North Creek and Fort Plain for a total of 34 years.
Carol was a generous, caring person. She was very involved in her community and the Catholic Church. She was a secret “Santa” to many needy families in the community. She fought to keep her local post office. She enjoyed making cards, all kinds of games, game shows and face painting in the park. She made special Halloween treats. She never met a child she didn’t like. She directed a program based on the arts for many summers. Pets held a special place in her heart, especially dogs. She was a member of the New York State Teachers Association and loved TV game shows.
Carol is survived by a sister, Donna L. Carbino of Queensbury; numerous cousins; many friends; and a special caregiver, Christina Russell.
Her parents, a young brother, and special Aunt Jean and Uncle Doug Armstrong predeceased her.
