Obituary of Carol Ciarco

Ciarco, Carol, 72, on April 26, 2019, found eternal peace in heaven with her parents, Philip Ciarco, Jr. and Antoinette Ciarco. Born in August of 1946, Carol made Lyndhurst her home from the age of 5. Carol lovingly devoted her life to her family and friends, her career, and her love of animals. She was employed for over 40 years at the Meadowlands Racetrack where she rose from a teller position to one who served as the Director of Accounts Wagering.

Carol is survived by heartbroken family members including her brother Philip Ciarco III, and his wife Kathleen, her nephew and godson, Philip Ciarco IV, and his children Nicole, Philip V, and Madison, and her niece, Shauna DeMarco, her husband Robert and their children, Gabriella, Bobby, Matthew and Anthony.

Carol’s innate love for animals, particularly dogs, was sensed immediately by her furry friends. Through the years, she was adored and beloved by her own dogs, especially Sole and Schnoodle, as well as the pets of family members that she loved, including most recently Tinkerbell and Raina.

The kindness, compassion, and warmth that Carol demonstrated to others will live on in our memories and hearts. She will forever be loved and missed.
