Carol was the oldest of four children born to Martha (Marquette) and Lt. Colonel Thomas
McGuigan on February 25, 1938, in Flushing, New York. Carol was an “Air Force brat”,
attended high school in Burtonwood, England and graduated from Kaiserslautern High
School, Kaiserslautern, Germany in 1956.
Carol spent most of her career as a receptionist for Dr. Robert Zimmer OB/GYN in North
Syracuse. After retiring, she worked part time at St Joe’s Hospital Gift Shop and was a long-
standing board member for the condos at Watertree.
Carol is survived by her 5 daughters and their families: Julianne Hunsicker of Hutto, Texas
and her children, Zachary and Scott; Kim Sellwood, her husband Bruce of Truxton, and their
children Tom and Adam; Lauralee Shafer, her husband Steven of Chittenango, and their
children Nicole, Mathew and Corey; Kristin Allen, her husband Richard of Kirkville and her
daughter Amanda; Melissa Koch of Niagara Falls and her children Ryan and Nicholas; and 8
great grandchildren.
Carol enjoyed cooking for her family, playing golf, making ‘donations’ to the local casinos
and traveling/cruising with good friends and family.
A celebration of life is being planned for a later date. Please reach out to the family for details.
