Carole was proceeded in death by her parents Albert and Ethel Howard.
Clarence was proceeded in death by his parents Albert and Ruth Cook, his sister Betty Ann Heilman, and his brothers Brian Cook and Charles Cook. He is survived by his brothers Albert Cook and Donald Wetzel and his sister, Deana Myers.
In July of 2022 Clarence was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He fought hard to stay with his family. Carole could not imagine living without Clarence and as his health declined, so did hers. Apparently Clarence could not imagine living without her either and passed away just two hours after Carole did.
Our family is left with the legacy of their love story. They are together in death as they were in life.
The family will receive friends at Lemmon Funeral Home of Dulaney Valley, Inc., 10 W. Padonia Road (at York Rd.) Timonium, MD 21093 on Tuesday, February 7, 2023 from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9pm.
