Carol J. Martini, 70, of Uhrichsville, O., passed away on Wednesday, December 3, 2008 in Twin City Hospital at Dennison, O., following a lengthy illness, having battled Multiple Sclerosis since 1969.

Born May 22, 1938 in Flushing, O., she was a daughter of the late Fred Charles and Irma Marie (Zucali) Pilati.

Carol was a devoted wife to Francis D. Martini to whom she was married on December 28, 1957, a loving mother to her three daughters, Cheri M. Patterson of Gnadenhutten, Mrs. Ron (Jan D.) Kail of Gnadenhutten and Mrs. Don (Michele L.) Robinson of Canton, and a doting grandmother to her granddaughters, Aliesha and Erica Robinson of Canton.

Carol is also survived by her brother, Charles Pilati and his wife, Carol, of Mogadore, O.; her uncle and aunt, Arthur and Maureen Zucal of Livonia, Mich.; and a number of nieces, nephews and cousins.

Carol was a lifelong resident of the Twin City area who had worked as a receptionist for the late Dr. Kuba’s office in Uhrichsville and had also worked for the reservations department of Eastern Airlines. She was a great animal lover and enjoyed doing crafts, especially macramé and sewing, until her illness prevented her. She also enjoyed collecting thimbles.

She was a member of Immaculate Conception Church in Dennison and was a graduate of St. Mary’s High School in the class of 1956. She then furthered her education at the Gayle Institute in Minneapolis.
