Carol Louise Kaler, 94, was born on April 21, 1929 in Johnsonburg, Pa, the daughter of William Bruce Hanna and Hazel Marie (Englert) Hanna who preceded her in death. Carol was one of four daughters. Jean Hunter and Doris Price preceded her in death, along with Marie Williamson, of Camp Hill, Pa.
Carol was the loved wife of Malcom L Kaler, whom she joined in Heaven on Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2023. They were long time residents of Caldwell, Pa.
She is survived by four children, William (Linda) Kaler, of Altoona, Richard (Alice) Kaler, of Pine Creek, Ann Marie Packer (Stan), of Conifer, Colo., and David (Shellie) Kaler, of Lock Haven. She has eight grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
Carol was proud of her years working as a Hospice Volunteer and as a Haneyville Fire Company volunteer. She was also proud to be a 15-gallon blood donor to the American Heart Association.
In her past she enjoyed working at the Locks Restaurant in Lock Haven and at Bierly's Chevrolet. Everywhere Carol went, there was always someone she knew. She always said she loved everyone "a bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck."
She collected frog figurines and enjoyed giving them away as gifts, saying FROG meant "Forever Rely On God." She enjoyed sitting by her window, watching the birds and waving to everyone driving by.
Carol was a member of Caldwell United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the church in her name.
A Memorial Service will be held in Carol's honor on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, at 11 a.m., in the Woolrich United Methodist Church, Woolrich. Officiating will be Rev. Laura King. Family and friends will be received in the church one hour prior to the service. A luncheon will be held at the church following the service.
