Below is a note from Carol's daughter Karen...
I am deeply saddened to announce that Carol Craft passed on July 10, 2025 just 9 days before her 83rd birthday. To those who knew her, her extraordinary ability to love unconditionally and generously will be deeply missed. She embodied the spirit of selflessness, always willing to give her last dollar to those in need. Her later years, marked by the absence of Tom who was the love of her life and her own declining health, were particularly challenging. However, she is now at peace, reunited with Tom and my sister Debbie, whom she continued to mourn. Mother-daughter relationships can be intricate, and I am grateful that, in our final years together, we were able to have open and honest conversations, share tears, and develop a more profound understanding of each other. This newfound understanding brings me peace, and I will be eternally grateful for it. Through therapy, we addressed generational trauma, healing deep wounds in the process. I Love You, Mom, and your passing has left a profound void in my heart.
Carolyn F. Craft was born July 19, 1942 in Providence. She was the daughter of the late Louis Golini and Anna DiVincenzo of Providence. She was a resident of Cranston when she passed. Carol leaves her loving daughter Karen Lee Maltais of Cranston. She was the loving grandmother of Ryan, Matthew, Thomas and Nathan and great grandmother to Parker, Rylee, Colbie and Dahlia who she adored.
A Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday July 23, 2025 at 11:00am in the chapel at Highland Memorial Park Cemetery 1 Rhode Island Avenue Johnston.
In lieu of flowers donations to RI Area – ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics) www.riareaaca.org would be greatly appreciated.
