Carol Edman of Chelsea, formerly of Ann Arbor and Cheboygan.
(November 10, 1931 to February 6, 2023)
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near…so loved, so missed, so very dear.
“Wow what a wonderful life I have had. I was born to Violet and Clayton Russ in Ann Arbor. I was the oldest sister to Stanley Russ, Marilyn Gibson and Judy (Jerry) Pace. We grew up on Broadway Street and created so many wonderful family memories.
I attended and graduated from Ann Arbor High School in 1949. I met this guy named Marshall Edman and I knew he was the one. We married on September 20, 1952, and were blessed with three children: Thomas (Diane), Karen, Mark (Stacey). Five grandchildren, Sarah (Paul) Strohbusch, Molly Edman, Tabitha (Eric) Stiller, Brandon (Jess-Fiancée) Edman, Nathan Edman. Great grandchildren, Ethan and Tucker Stiller, Emerson and Luke Strohbusch. We raised our family in Ann Arbor surrounded by many extended family and friends.
We had a house on Mullet Lake in Cheboygan, spending time there whenever possible and eventually retiring there and gaining another wonderful group of friends. I loved being a wife, mother, Nani and great Nani. I was active with the Lady Elks, bowling and golf leagues and our monthly Euchre group.”
The family will receive friends at Cole Funeral Chapel in Chelsea, Friday, Feb. 10, from 3-6 p.m. A time of food and fellowship will follow at the Chelsea Fairgrounds Service Center.
