Carol Ann Furtney, age 74, of Gregory, MI, passed away peacefully at her home on June 1, 2025.
She was born on January 7, 1951, in Jackson, MI, the daughter of Jack and Doris (Feldpausch) Richmond.
Carol was a devoted and loving mother, grandmother, and sister. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life—working in her yard, tending to her gardens, and cooking for those she loved. Family meant everything to Carol, and she cherished every moment spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
A generous and nurturing spirit, Carol was always willing to lend a hand. She enjoyed family gatherings, watching her favorite soap operas, and was an enthusiastic sports fan—whether it was football, baseball, basketball, or NASCAR, she followed them all with passion.
Carol is survived by her five beloved children: Sheila Hensley, Kim Blades, Linda Wardle, Heather (Sean) Marks, and Jodie Cox; eight grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; three sisters: Judy Buckner, Beverly Richmond, and Amy (Steve) Drow; as well as three nieces and one nephew.
A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, June 6, 2025, 11:00 a.m., at Caskey-Mitchell Funeral Home in Stockbridge. The family will receive friends at the funeral home from 10:00 a.m. until the time of service.
