Carol Churchill, age 88, passed away Thursday, July 21, 2011 at the Saline Evangelical Home in Saline, Michigan. She was born on July 4, 1923 in Benton Harbor, MI to William and Jeanette (Crans) McKindley.
Carol Jeane McKindley grew up on a farm and attended a two-room schoolhouse through the 8th grade. She met Donald Churchill in a math class at Michigan State University. They were married March 17, 1946 at Peace Methodist Temple in Benton Harbor, Mich. He preceded her in death on July 18, 2009.
In June 1945 she received her Registered Nurse certification from the Sparrow Hospital School of Nursing, Lansing, Mich. In June 1946 she graduated from Michigan Agricultural College, now known as Michigan State University.
The couple raised a growing family in Lansing, Muskegon, Chelsea, Ann Arbor and then Milan. They owned and operated a metal finishing plant called "Scio Plastics" on Division St. in Milan. They first set up Scio Plastics when they were living in Scio Township, around 1970. They operated it together for more than two decades. After retirement they used their travel trailer for trips to northern Michigan, Florida and Louisiana.
Mrs. Churchill was a long-time member of the Milan Music Club because she played the piano. She routinely sewed clothing for her children, and enjoyed growing Bonsai plants. She will always be remembered for her legendary chocolate chip cookies and apple pie.
