Obituary for Carol Leslie Hughes-Palmer
Carol Leslie Hughes Palmer of Kennebunk, Maine departed this life to her heavenly home on September 24, 2022, just six days shy of her 72nd birthday, after a long and courageous battle with physical and mental illness.
Carol was a graduate of Cardinal Cushing College in Brookline, MA. In her professional career, she worked as a Medical Transcriber, owned and operated her own secretarial service and served as Hostess and Bookkeeper for Kennebunk’s Windows on the Water Restaurant.
In a portrait alongside her mother, Carol was among the original “Beautiful Hair Breck” child models who appeared in the Breck advertisements in magazines of the 1950’s and 60’s.
Carol never forgot a birthday, an anniversary, a special occasion, even a person’s name she only met once. Those who came in contact with Carol, either socially or in a business setting, were always made to feel welcomed, loved and appreciated by her.
She is survived by her beloved son, Geoffrey Palmer (Jackie) of Wisconsin, her sister, Kathy Hughes-Morris (Bob) of Massachusetts, her brother, John Patrick Hughes III (Cindy) of Maine and Florida, as well as six nieces and nephews.
A celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Interment will be private.
