Hasting's Reminder - Saturday, March 7, 2026

CAROL ANN BRODBECK, age 92, passed away surrounded by close family on February 
24, 2026. Born December 13, 1933, Carol was a devoted and hardworking woman who 
made her home in Woodland,MI. After this introduction, she will be lovingly 
remembered as Carol.

Carol's life was marked by steadfast dedication to both family and the work of 
building a home and livelihood alongside those she loved. With her husband, 
Paul, Carol farmed 170 acres, cared for 21,000 laying hens, and raised feeder 
pigs-all while raising their family together. Her commitment, strength, and 
tireless work ethic were evident in the life she helped create, sustain, and 
pass on.

When she wasn't tending to chores, or helping with grandchildren, Carol could 
often be found with yarn in her hands, crocheting gifts stitched with love for 
those around her. Whether it was with a warm blanket, a thoughtful meal, or 
simply her time, she was always ready to help anyone who needed it. Her home and 
her  heart were laces of comfort, and her kindness touched countless lives.

Carol was preceded in death by her husband, Paul Jack Brodbeck; her son, Terry 
Brodbeck; her brother Herbert Clark Jr and great grandchild, Ellis.

Carol is survived by her children, Sharon Shaw, Cindy Morris, and Daryl 
Brodbeck. She is survived by her grandchildren:Spencer Shaw; Tyler (Kayla) & 
Lucas (Mackenzie) Shaw; Travis & Nick Brodbeck; Trevor Greenman & Justin 
(Monica) Shumaker; Jack (Anna) Morris; Alexis (Joe McGlothen) Morris; Cody

(Morgan Hallenbeck) & Morgan (BLake) Thelen with Emmitt & Blakley; Harper &
