Caroline J. Crabb “Carol”, 80, of New Port Richey, passed away at her home on September 6, 2022. Born in DuBois, PA, she was raised and attended school in Wesleyville. She lived in Harborcreek with her husband “the only man she’d ever love” and four children. In addition to homemaking and child rearing, Carol worked at Behrend College as a cafeteria worker with her long-time friend and neighbor Evelyn Trimble. In September 1985, she moved to New Port Richey. She worked at K-Mart in the deli, then as a Bookkeeper for APT Services and Larsen and Associates. She enjoyed playing cards, board games and bowling, a member of leagues in both PA and FL, with family and friends. Carol’s favorite sport was football…GO STEELERS!!! Her hobbies included crocheting, knitting, sewing, ceramics, floral arranging, and gardening. She loved westerns, particularly those containing Clint Eastwood. Most importantly, from teenage babysitter to 70+ year old Great-Grandma, Carol dearly loved taking care of children. She was extremely independent, dignified, and compassionate. Carol is survived by her sisters, Marlene Luthey and Charolette Banka; children, Kenneth, Brian, William, and Wendy Crabb; grandchildren, Mandy, Derek, Drew, Shannon, Brian, and Mason; and 14 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Flo Gould; and her husband, Kenneth Crabb. Carol’s viewing will be held at Michels & Lundquist Funeral Home, 5228 Trouble Creek Road, New Port Richey, FL 34652 on Tuesday September 13th from 4pm to 6pm. Her graveside service and burial will be at Wintergreen Gorge Cemetery, 2601 Norcross Road, Erie, PA 16510 on Friday September 16th at 10am.
