Born July 21, 1956, in Gladwin, to the late Harold and Anna (Polakova) Weaver, she graduated from Gladwin High School in 1974, and Michigan State University in 1979.

She is survived by her sisters, Bernadette Weaver and Linda (Tom) Winarski of Gladwin; her brother, Robert (Pam) Weaver also of Gladwin; many nieces and nephews; and special friend Don Cannon of Plainwell.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister Monica.
Honoring Carol’s wishes, no services will be held and her body was donated to Michigan State University’s Medical School for research and education.
