Born March 7, 1936, Carol was raised in East Hartford, by her mother Mae Anthony and Stepfather John Swiatkiewicz, attending East Hartford High School. Carol raised her family in East Hartford and made her career in Human Resources at Travelers Insurance Cos. in Hartford, CT.
Carol was a genuine, honest, and beautiful soul who loved her family. Carol would host many family gatherings to ensure everyone kept close. Carol also loved traveling and photography and thanks to her beautiful pictures many got to share in her travels to Europe and the Caribbean Islands. Carol loved family beach trips to Misquamicut and Cape Cod, and really enjoyed watching the UConn Women’s Basketball. But she would turn off the TV when the score was too close… MOM!!!!!! 😊
