Carol Ann (Nailor) Abate, 75, of 48 Birch Lane, Williamstown, died peacefully at her home while surrounded by her family on Friday, September 10, 2010 after a long, courageous battle with Lewy Body Disease.

Carol devoted her life to her family, her friends and to her church, where she was heavily involved in the choir, parish council and annual festival.
