Carol L. Case, 86, passed away at her home in Monclova, Ohio on March 6, 2026. Born to Ralph and Gladys Meyers in Toledo, Ohio on December 11, 1939, she was a 1957 graduate of Libbey High School. While in high school, she met the love of her life, Thomas Case, at Bethel Lutheran Church. They married in 1961 immediately after he graduated from the United States Naval Academy.

Carol happily settled into life as a wife and mother, and later, a devoted grandmother. She cherished her friends and time spent with them, especially the “Loma’s Crew,” the “Poker Club” and lifelong friends who became like sisters. Carol loved gardening, and cooking for her family and friends. She was the family prayer warrior. Together, Tom and Carol built a wonderful, exciting life over their 57 years of marriage until Tom’s death in 2018.
