Carol L. Ross

Born to the late James and Angeline (Dagata) LaMonte on May 28, 1943 in New Britain, she was one of four beloved daughters. Carol lived most of her adult life in Burlington, CT. She earned a master’s degree while raising three children as a single parent. She worked many years for the State of Connecticut Department of Social Services, and immersed herself in her faith, her family, politics, community service, and reading.

Surviving her are her three children and their spouses, Elizabeth Kelly (Ross) Wood and her husband Andrew of West Hartford, Eric Ross and his wife Gail of Burlington, and Kathryn (Ross) Palaia of Plainville. Her six grandchildren, Allison Martin, Scott Palaia, Megan Palaia, Owen Wood, Loren Ross, Olivia Ross, two great-grandchildren, Isabella and Luca, and many nieces and nephews. Additionally, she is survived by her sister Joanne Michaud of Colorado Springs, and her sister Angela LaMonte of New York City. She is predeceased by her sister Rosemarie (LaMonte) Skoglund, two brother’s in-law Gary Skoglund and Robert Michaud, her son-in-law Michael Palaia, and a beloved nephew, Thomas Skoglund. The family would like to extend gratitude to all the staff at Touchpoints of Farmington for their compassion and care.
