HARTMAN (HAKEL), Carol Ann

Passed away, 8-13-01 in Washington D.C. due to complications of her long fight with diabetes.  She is survived by husband, Lane & children Matthew, and Grace Ann, her grandmother Ruth Isackila and mother Ruth Hartman as well as other family.  

Carol’s perseverance with a smile through her long illness made all who knew her better people.  The realistic optimism with which she faced it led her to a remarkably full life. She overcame her blindness & got a Master’s degree in Speech Pathology from BGU in ’86.  She worked for 5 years with mentally retarded adults, then turned her full attention to being a mom.  She was a Suicide Prevention Hotline worker, on church council, choir member and youth group leader.  

Her infectious laugh, sharp wit, willingness to share, & resounding wit will always keep her life’s glow warm in the hearts she touched.  Carol taught us to love life.
