Ionia Shopper's Guide - Nov. 10, 2012

Mrs. Carol M. VanVleck, 91, of Woodbine, Maryland passed away peacefully on 
November 4, 2012 in the home of her daughter, Faye.

Carol has resided with her family since 1983 but permanently for the last five 
years. Prior to moving to Woodbine, she resided in Charlotte, Michigan and then 
Zephyrhills, Florida, where she loved her time spent with many of her Florida 
snowbirds and her sis and brother-in-law Margaret and Rodney Duvall.

Born December 24, 1920 in Muskegon, Michigan she was the daughter of the late 
Arden C. Weygandt and Fay Sells. She graduated from Lake Odessa High in 1939. 
She married Ivan L. Ross, and later married Fred I. VanVleck. Prior to marriage 
she worked in a canning factory in Lake Odessa, and a restaurant in Lansing.

She was preceded in death by all of her siblings; brothers, Earl, Marvin, Max, 
and George Weygandt, and sisters Leta Weygandt, Wilma Weygandt, and Margaret 
Duvall.

She is survived by four children; daughters Fay Hodiak (Dick) of Woodbine, 
Maryland; Bonnie Vaught (Jim) of Loris, South Carolina; and Nellie VanVleck of 
New Port Richey, Florida; and son Fred A. VanVleck (Sheila) of Sunfield, 
Michigan. Carol is also survived by six grandchildren; Rick Hodiak (Linda) of 
Westminster, Maryland; Carol  Chaney (Tom) of Libertytown, Maryland; James 
Vaught (Bobbie Jo) of Quenemo, Kansas, Taryn Wrigt (Brad) of Simpsonville, 
South Carolina; Tama VanVleck of Sunfield, Michigan; and Shane Vaught of 
Clemson, South Carolina. She was a proud great greatgrandma to ten; Michelle 
and Nicole Hodiak; Matthew, Mark, and Luke Chaney; Taliesin VanVleck, Cameron 
and Dalton Wright; and Ashlie Bailey and Kathryn Vaught. In addition, she is 
survived by two sisters-in-law Joan Weygandt of Lake Odessa, Michigan, and 
Marie Weygandt of Big Rapids, Michigan. She was Aunt Carol to many nieces and 
nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews. She was known as Grandma Carol by 
her wonderful church family bf Jennings Chapel.

Carol's greatest joy was her family and the times when many would gather for 
food, laughter and a good game of cards. She was also an avid crafter. She 
enjoyed creating and making crafts but her greatest enjoyment was seeing others 
enjoy her many creations. She often gave away her crafts for the church or two  
nursing  homes. She was generous with her creations.

The family would like to thank Kelley Berge, Gramdma Carol's caregiver, who 
came into her life earlier this year and became very dear to her and the 
family. The family thanks her special care and great devotion to Carol. The 
family would also like to thank Hospice of Howard County.

A memorial service will be held at 11 am on Saturday, November 10, 2012 at 
Jennings Chapel United Methodist Church, 2601 Jennings Chapel Road, Woodbine, 
Maryland.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Jennings Chapel UMC 
or Gilchrist Hospice Care, 5537 Twin Knolls Road, Suite 433, Columbia, Maryland 
21043.
