Carol A. Sowalski

October 18, 1943 - December 29, 2020

And in the bedlam, there was always someone in charge . . . and it was mom. On December 29, 2020 Carol A. Sowalski passed away at St. Peters Hospital after a brief bout with COVID. Carol was the daughter of Nicholas and Mary Lanoue Polopolous. She was predeceased by her brothers and sisters Nicholas, Joyce, Robert and Laura Jean. She is survived and will be greatly missed by her brothers and sister Marion, Ralph and Richard. Carol is also predeceased by her loving husband William, daughter Joyce and granddaughter Kristina. She will be greatly missed by her sons Mark and Raymond, their loving spouses and grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. This is a small measure of the lives she affected. The family that she built was so much more. It was not unusual for Carol to show up at a friend’s house with baked goods or dinner to support those in need, show appreciation for support given or just because it was the right thing to do. She gave freely of herself and this is why her family is so much more than those mentioned above. May she rest in peace in the eternal grace of the Lord in the company of those who have gone before her. Services will be for family only and in lieu of flowers please make donations to the American Cancer Society, 1 Penny Lane, Latham NY 12110.
