Carolyn Pratt Marshall, daughter of Frances and Laurence Pratt of Dover, Mass., died Tuesday, July 4, 2017, at the Courtyard of Woodcrest Village, of complications from Alzheimer's.
Carol, as she was known by her family and friends, graduated from The Windsor School in Boston and attended Vassar College for two years before leaving in 1953 to marry. She and Gordon would have celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary in September, 2017.
She was an artist at heart, a talented potter who became a juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. Her lifelong love of animals led to hobby raising and showing Siberian Huskies after her children were grown. Three of her dogs became champions. She worked with the NH Siberian Husky rescue, helping to find homes for unwanted dogs. One of her dogs was also a certified companion animal with whom she visited area nursing homes. She served on the board of Caring Animal Partners, helping to share her love of dogs with others. She also served a term on the New London Planning Board.
While Carol was an accomplished potter, a successful dog breeder, and involved in public service, she was committed to being a good mother, raising four children with the same verve, commitment and sense of creativity she brought to her other endeavors. Her sense of humor, her creativity, and her devotion to family will live on in her children and grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her sister, Frances Gray and her grandson, Andrew Marshall.
