Carol was born and raised in Salem, MA, the daughter of the late Alexander and Pearl (Weston) Swiderski and was a graduate of Salem High School.

Carol had many hobbies and enjoyed painting, sketching, pastel drawing and working with stained glass. She became quite an accomplished artist. In her spare time, she was also an avid bird watcher, animal lover, and flower gardener, enjoyed reading and listening to jazz, and she cherished any time she could spend with her family, especially with her grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by all.
