Carol Ann Ferance, 76, passed away Sunday evening, April 23, 2023 at Mercy Saint Elizabeth Hospital in Youngstown, after several years of debilitating illness.

A lifelong resident of Newton Falls, she was born on September 22, 1946 to Joseph and Adella Yurgaitis Simko at Trumbull Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Ferance graduated from Newton Falls High School with the Class of 1964 and then proceeded to enter the workforce. After eight years of employment at G.E. Ohio Lamp Company in Warren, Carol worked for 38 years at the Container Corporation of America in Ravenna.

 Actively involved in several social organizations, she had been a member of the Business Women of America, the JayCee’s, The Red Hats Club, and AMVETS Post #112. In addition, she had attended St. Michael’s Byzantine Catholic Church and had pursued a variety of recreational interests, including knitting, crocheting, quilting, and attending craft shows. She had enjoyed cake-decorating and candy-making, as well as traveling, reading, painting, and solving puzzles.

Carol was pre-deceased by her husband, Ronald D. Ferance, whom she married on September 20, 1997 and who passed away in 2016, and her son, Scott, whose ashes will be interred with his mother. She is survived by her brother and sister-in-law, Joseph and Karen Simko of Poland, and her niece and nephew and their families.

Private family services will be held with Rev. William Rupp of officiating.  Carol will be laid to rest next to her husband Ronald at St. Michael Cemetery.
