Carol Ann Grant’s very first sunrise was April 12th 1940, her final sunset came on Oct 31st 2011, where she resided in Dansville, Michigan. As a small child she lived in the Lansing area until she moved to Washington State for a few years. When upon returning to Michigan her mother Catherine Viola ‘Vi’ Wood and her step father Jesse ‘Pete’ Wood resided again in the Lansing area where Carol graduated from Sexton High School in 1958.

Later in life, Carol and her four children moved to Potterville, Michigan where she bartended at Joe’s Potterville Inn, and Carl’s Supermarket before working for AFC homes in Potterville and Eaton Rapids.

Carol retired in 1997, and returned to Michigan where she would reside in Dansville until the time of her passing.
