Carol Rosine Stark, 75 of Pinconning, our kind, generous, nurturing and Jesus loving, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and sister, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 9, 2022, at Ascension Standish Hospital with her family by her side. Carol was born on October 20, 1946, to the late Edmund and Elsie (Schroeder) Stark. Carol attended Douglas MacArthur High School. In her late 40’s, Carol went back to school and proudly received her GED. Carol had a special gift about her with children; they would run to her and find safety in her care. Carol attended Delta College and was working on receiving her degree in Child Development. Carol was the eighth child of eleven kids. Carol enjoyed the opportunity of being raised on the family farm, where she enjoyed and had many great adventures. Carol was affectionately known as “Granny” or Aunt Carol by everyone she knew. One of her favorite pastimes was crocheting for family and friends. Carol was strong in her faith and loved the Lord with all of her heart. If you ever had a conversation with Carol, she was sure to share her faith with you. Carol leaves behind her children, Tina Stark, Michael Stark, and Jeffrey Stark; grandchildren, Adriana, Skyler, Devon, Chelsea, Elana, and Eryn Stark; great-grandchildren, Gunnar and Oakley Kosciolek; siblings, Geraldine Padgett, Donna Taylor, Betty Stark, and David Stark, along with many nieces and nephews and several children who were not her own but had a hand in raising.
