Carol Catherine Meyers, age 88 passed away on Friday, January 17, 2025. Born in Plainfield, NJ on December 26, 1936, to the late Helen and Herman Newman, and resided in Warren, NJ with her two siblings, Eleanor and Richie. After graduating from North Plainfield High School, she attended beauty school and spent the next few years as an accomplished beautician.

Carol was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend to many. She took great pleasure in maintaining her home, gardening, and spending time outdoors. Her epic taste inspired so many. She also had a passion for exploring new experiences, political matters, and spending time with her great-grandchildren. Her wisdom, contagious laugh, witty remarks, generosity, and compassion will be missed dearly.
