Carol Jean Howe

Carol was born on the Stahl family farm on September 14, 1926 in Butler, Ohio, to Francis Stahl and Velma Wineland-Dorsey Stahl. Carol loved playing with her three church friends, Janice, Erma and Carolyn, while their mothers prepared for ice cream socials held at their church.

Carol married Claude Robert Howe on October 27, 1951. The two were each other’s lifelong companions and friends. They were blessed with three children: Sharon (Carl) Mounts, Gary (Carol) Howe and Pamela (Carl) Adams; seven grandchildren, Tonya (Troy) Magers, Carla (Dan) Tuttle, Amanda (Robert) Bragg, Brandy (Matt) Taracko, David (Michelle) Howe, Jennifer Adams-Baker and Abbie Adams-Spears; seventeen great-grandchildren (in order by age), Brandon (Erin) Magers, Dacota (Jonah) Eby, Brooklyn (Tyler) Shank, Brennan (Autumn) Magers, Morgan Tuttle, Koalten Baker, Sophia Taracko, Rylynn Baker, Tyler Magers, Eva Taracko, Tiarra Magers, Claudia Magers, Desiray Magers, Liam Howe, Joey Taracko, Cora Bragg and Morgan Howe; and five great-great grandchildren, David Eby, Leah Eby, Alaina Eby, Mila Magers and Lillian Eby.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Claude Howe; and brother, Clark Stahl.

Carol had one title that made her most proud, and that was Meemee. Her great and great-great grandchildren had the honor of calling her this. If you had asked Carol what her greatest accomplishment was she would have told you, “I got to live to see five generations!”
