Carol A. (Krulikowski) Henry

Carol A. (Krulikowski) Henry, age 77 of Concord Township, passed away Tuesday November 30, 2021 at home surrounded by her family. Carol was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey and lived in Nashville before moving to Ohio. Throughout her life, Carol held a variety of different roles in various companies and organizations, most recently as a field supervisor for social science research. She was heavily involved in community organizations throughout Lake County including the Painesville Area Chamber of Commerce, Painesville City Improvement Corporation, Leadership Lake County, Concord Community Days, and the Auburn Career Center. She also volunteered at the American Red Cross, Notre Dame Schools, and St. Mary’s Painesville. Most recently, Carol valued her involvement with the Christ Child Society of the Western Reserve. Carol enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, long-time friends, and extended family. She also enjoyed entering photography competitions, for which she won numerous awards. She enjoyed bringing smiles to faces, whether it was writing a column, capturing precious memories through photos, making balloon animals or painting faces as a friendly clown, spreading holiday cheer as a festive elf, or just by wearing her signature smiley face t-shirts. Carol was a devoted daughter to her parents, Thaddeus and Connie (both deceased); dear sister to Ted (Linda) and Pat (deceased); spunky aunt to her 8 nieces and their wonderful families; wife and friend to former husband, Vern; and loving grandmother to Asha and Raj. Carol was a devoted and hard-working mother to her son and daughter and their spouses; and a good friend to many. A funeral mass will be held at 10:30 am Friday, December 10, 2021 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 242 North State St. Painesville, OH. 44077. Honoring Carol’s wishes, the family requests that attendees wear “something bright & cheery.” Guests are invited to meet after the mass in the church’s family center to share their favorite memories of Carol.
