Carol Carbone

In Memory of Carol Carbone

August 17, 1943-March 29, 2026

Carol Carbone, age 82, of Swedesboro, NJ (formally of Folcroft, PA) passed away on March 29, 2026. Daughter of the late Daniel and Dorothy Nardella, Carol is survived by her loving and devoted husband of fifty-seven years, Stephen J. Carbone. Their union was blessed with four children: Stephen (Carrie), Kevin (Tammy), Dan (Theresa), and Lisa (Dan) McMahon; and later by grandchildren, Daniel, Hailey, Brynne, Lanie, and Stephen.  Carol is also survived by her loving sister Marie (Dennis) Lane, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Carol grew up in South Philadelphia and was a graduate of the Saint Maria Goretti Class of ‘61. She was a proud homemaker to her husband and four children, caretaker to her mother, Dorothy, and was employed part time as a cafeteria worker, specifically a cashier, for the Southeast Delco School District.

Carol was a devout Catholic with an unwavering faith. She never missed Sunday mass or holy days, and in her later years, attended weekly Adoration. All throughout the year, Carol and Steve instilled a family rule to never eat meat on Fridays and followed it faithfully.
Carol found happiness in simple things; however, she had a love of anything Vera Bradley! She owned many bags and wallets! She enjoyed cooking, especially sharing her recipes with her children and grandchildren. One would often see her in her snap down cooking apron. Baking Christmas cookies and making gingerbread houses were traditions she treasured sharing with her grandchildren! Another love she had was watching General Hospital! It was rare for her to miss an episode! Wherever she was, she had to be home by 3 pm in order to watch it. She could also be found playing pinochle and watching the Phillies! She was a huge fan! The Philly Phanatic’s antics were by far her favorite thing about the game! She loved his dancing and how he would pat Steve’s head when they were at the games. Most importantly, however, she was an adoring “Nan” to her grandchildren. They were her pride and joy!
