Carol Hardin Kimball, first woman charter trustee of Phillips Academy/Andover, retired fundraiser, naturalist, writer died Wednesday, (June 5, 2002) at her home in Lyme, after a two month battle with lung cancer. She was 67, born in New York City, she was raised in Darien, and attended the New Canaan Country Day School. A graduate of Abbot Academy in 1953 and Smith College, Cum Laude in 1957, Carol was passionate in her commitment to the arts and the environment. A gifted fundraiser, she held positions at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Columbia University, the Metropolitan Opera, the Environmental Defense Fund and most recently at the Connecticut Chapter of the Nature Conservancy. In the mid-seventies, Carol was instrumental in facilitating the merger between her alma mater Abbot Academy and Phillips Academy, which was then an all boys' school. In 1974 she became the first woman appointed to the position of charter trustee of Andover, and has been a Trustee Emerita since 1991. She was a contributing author and researcher to recently published award-winning book "Tidelands of the Connecticut River; A Guide to its Hidden Coves and Tributaries" published by River's End Press. A passionate bird watcher and a frequent contributor to local newspapers on environmental issues, Carol also served as a docent at the Connecticut College Arboretum and was a Director of the Lyme Land Conservation Trust.
Carol is survived by two children, Jennifer Kimball of Somerville, MA. and Andrew Kimball of Brooklyn, NY; two grandchildren, Lucas and Eliot Kimball; her brother, Adlai Hardin, Jr. of New York City, her former husband, Geoffrey Kimball of New York City; and her companion, William Burt of Old Lyme.
