Carole Kay Baumbaugh, 73, born in Canton, OH, died in Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital on May 26, 2022. Her parents were Herle R. and Margaret L. Baumbaugh, both deceased. Carole graduated from Glenwood High School in 1966, where she enjoyed being a majorette. She attended Midwestern College in Nebraska and Muskingum College in Ohio, where she majored in Spanish and through which she enjoyed overseas Spanish-language studies in Spain. Later, she applied her considerable affinity for technology to her professional career with the Ohio Department of Disability. Carole was the very definition of sweetness and kindness, as any human or dog who knew her would lovingly confirm. She had an aura of energy that was compelling and loved music and dance. Most of all, she adored and cared intensely for her beloved dogs, Puff, Charlie, Coffee, Charlene, and others. She also deeply loved her family and contributed tender, generous care to her mother and father and to her sister, Nancy. She loved "spoiling" her niece, Julie (Jim), her nephew, Bill (Marie), and her grand-niece and nephews, Soleil, A.J., and Will.
