Carol L. Ayers
Carol Louise Ayers passed away peacefully on February 5, 2020 at the home of her friend, advocate and best supporter Susan Harnett at the age of 82. Carol was predeceased by her sister, Cathleen Ayers; brother, George Ayers, and parents Stanley and Clarissa (Ketchum) Ayers. Carol is survived by her nieces, Melody Simmons (Darryl) and Harmony Ayers-Friedlander (William), several great nieces and nephews, cousins and many close friends and neighbors. Carol was a graduate of Tioga Central High School and later received a degree from Broome Community College. Starting as one of the first telephone operators in Owego, she worked for Bell Telephone and later for Verizon for her entire career. She was a member of the Pioneers, a telecom volunteer network across the US and Canada, where she was recognized for her volunteerism and service to her community.
Carol had a great sense of adventure and love of life. After saving up enough money from her first job, she traveled across the country with her friends Joan Bucek and Linnnolee Carrier and traveled a bit further with Linnolee to Europe where they met Winifred Lever in England. The four remained dear friends throughout their lives. While Carol enjoyed seeing the world, she was happiest living on the farm and caring for her cows. One could say she is survived by Freckles, Nanny Cow, Dorothea, Forrest, Lucy and the other cows that she loved and cared for like her own children. She also loved gospel and country music. She played the piano, flute and accordion and sang in a community chorus. She enjoyed the stock market as well and combined these talents as the church treasurer and organist at Mountain Chapel for many years. Carol was an avid reader and loved history. She was also a staunch supporter of local youth sports, having played basketball in her youth. She delighted in local team victories especially her alma mater - Go Tigers!
Family and friends are invited to visit on Monday February 10, 2020 from 12:00 Noon until 1:00pm. A Memorial Service will begin at 1:00pm with Pastor Curtis Carter officiating. Interment will be held at a later date at Halsey Valley Cemetery. Carol was a gardener and loved flowers so please feel free to honor her life with them as well as consider a donation to Tioga Central School Sports Programs in her name.
