Obituary for Carol L. Sammon (Witherell)
Carol L. Sammon, 84, a resident of Lyman, ME, formerly of Enfield CT, passed away peacefully on July 23, 2022.
Born in Montague, MA, May 18, 1938, Carol was the daughter of the late Ralph and Flora (Ripley) Witherell. Carol grew up in a house that her father built in Warwick, Massachusetts along with her siblings. Carol graduated Orange High School in Massachusetts then attended Cambridge Junior College in Boston. While at collage she lived with a family as their Nanny.
Possessing an adventurous spirit, Carol aspired of becoming a flight attendant. However, at that time there were strict height requirements that she did not meet. Carol then worked as a reservationist for United Airlines in New York City. This is where she met her husband, John of 47 years, and started her family in Leonia, New Jersey. Eventually they moved to Enfield, CT to raise their family. Carol was a stay-at-home Mom for 20 years then began her career with Casual Corner in Enfield, CT as an importer/exporter of clothing merchandise.
Carol loved to garden. She spent countless hours in her yard tending to her flowers and weeding endlessly. The Enfield Garden Club even recognized her as having one of the nicest gardens in town. She was so very proud of that. Carol always had a cat in her home, usually adopting from the local shelters. Missy and Bailey were her favorite furry companions over the years and Bella, her newest kitty, that brought her so much comfort. Carol also loved to read, do crossword puzzles, go to the antique auctions in town and play cards with her friends. Carol also enjoyed traveling. She had quite an adventure in college traveling to Italy, Austria, and Switzerland with her roommate. Over the years with her family, she enjoyed going to Ireland, England, Hawaii, Alaska, California, Florida, Las Vegas, and Ohio. Carol was absolutely thrilled when her first grandson Jacob was born, followed by her granddaughter Tralee. Carol was also blessed with step-grandchildren, Anna, and Drew and most recently a step-great grandson, Colton. Carol always made time to make special memories with her children and grandchildren. Never missing a special occasion.
A loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, Carol was predeceased by her husband, John J. Sammon, brother, Roland E. Witherell and brother-in-law, Theodore F. Sammon.
