Carol Elizabeth (Ward) Wren
East Herkimer, New York
Mrs. Carol Elizabeth (Ward) Wren, age 91, a longtime resident of Main Road, East Herkimer, passed into Heaven on Thursday morning, December 30, 2021, surrounded by her loving children and grandchildren. She was 91 years old.
Carol was born into the family of William and Cecelia Ward on May 29, 1930. She was predeceased by her husband Thomas, grandsons, Christopher Beste and David Battisti Jr., sisters, Rosemary Wren and Ruth Ward and brother, William Ward. She is survived by her sister Joan Canorro of Little Falls. Carol was blessed with nine children, Gary (Sue) Wren of Redding CA, Beverly (Rick) Spuhler of Oswego, NY, Kathleen MacCreery of Boston, MA, Janice (Rick) Briggs of Goffstown, NH, Theresa (David) Battisti of St. Johnsville, NY, Thomas Wren Jr of East Herkimer, Bernard Wren of Herkimer, NY, Patrick (Sharon) Wren of Duanesburg, NY, Daniel (Connie) Wren of East Herkimer, NY. Carol was also blessed with fourteen grandchildren: Justin, Joshua, Theresa, Casey, John, Danny, Mary, Courtney, Eric, Brianna, Sean, Jessica, Kevin and Nicole, fifteen great grandchildren, along with nearly one hundred nieces and nephews……. Gotta love those Irish Catholics!
Carol graduated from Mohawk High School and lived her entire life in the beautiful Mohawk Valley. She began her work career with the Univac Company in Utica, NY. Her career was interrupted when she started a family, and as you can see from the list above it kept her very busy. She retired as a food service employee at BOCES in East Herkimer.
Carol was a loyal member of St Francis de Sales Church in Herkimer, where her faith kept her grounded with her family and friends. Her commitment, dedication and sacrifice for her family was unmatched, especially her devotion to caring for her son Thomas until she was 87. She enjoyed road trips with her brother and sisters and loved to bake. Her apple pie, chocolate chip cookies, chili sauce, strawberry jam and homemade cinnamon buns were family favorites. Born during the great depression and living to the age of the computer she witnessed incredible changes in the world during her lifetime.
A special thank you is extended to St Luke’s Nursing Home, especially the staff on Barton East. We could feel the love they had for mom on her final day. The family is planning a celebration of Carol’s life commencing at 11 am on Sat., May 28, 2022 from Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 512 E. Gansevoort St., Little Falls followed by a reception at the Elk's Lodge, N. Ann St., Little Falls. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to ARC, 350 S. Washington St., Herkimer, NY 13350. In honoring Carol's wish, her family's care has been placed in the trust Mohawk Valley Funerals and Cremations, 7507 State Route 5, Little Falls (corner of Bidleman Road), 315-508-5131.
