Carol Anne (Paul) Darmogray, age 78, of Gladstone passed away at home on Monday, March 31, 2025, She was born on October 29, 1946 in Michigan, was a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend. She was the daughter of Henry and Dorothea Paul and grew up in Plymouth, Michigan where she met Bob. On August 18, 1967 she married Robert (Bob) Darmogray in Wayne Michigan. In 1970, they moved the family to Gladstone, MI and opened Gray Jewelers in the Delta Plaza mall. Carol also received her nursing license in 1979. She was passionate about her pets, gardening, and her family.

A lover of nature, Carol spent countless hours tending to her garden, feeding the deer and the birds, where she found peace and joy in nurturing the living things she cherished. Her love for animals was unwavering, and she shared her home with several pets over the years, each one bringing her happiness and companionship. Her beloved dogs, Beau and Max; her crazy kitties, Ellie, Maggie and Luna, who were her constant companions.
Throughout her life, Carol had an adventurous spirit. She loved to travel, exploring new places and creating memories with family and friends along the way. Her sense of wanderlust was matched only by her deep love for her family, and she was always at her happiest when surrounded by the people she loved.

Carol is survived by her three daughters, Jennifer (Bryan) Lombard and their children Doug and Alex, Julie (Steve) Theoret and their children Andrew, Adam, Anna and Ryan, Jackie (Tony) Fornetti and their children Chloe, Lucy and Chase; one son, Joe (Jeanette) Darmogray and their children Kyle and Tyler; her brother Robert (Sarah) Paul, and a sister, Tamara Paul, son in law, Karl Scheeneman; great grandchildren Blakely, Leighton and Brooks. Nieces; Kate, Teri, and Courtney, and nephews; Matthew, and Ian.

Carol was preceded in death by her husband, Robert of 53 years; her parents; her nieces Caitlin and Kristi.

Keeping with Carol’s wishes, there will not be a funeral and instead we will have a Celebration of Life at a later time. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Delta County Animal Shelter in her honor.

Carol will be forever remembered for her kindness, her dedication to her family, and the love she shared with everyone fortunate enough to know her. Carol’s love for her family was endless, and though she is gone, the bond we shared will never fade. We will carry her in our hearts forever.

The family is being assisted by the Skradski Funeral Home in Gladstone.

    We met Carol and Bob shortly after we moved to Escanaba in 1970.Bob and Mike were Jaycees, and we knew the whole family from their jewelry store. Our children grew up together until we moved to Marquette,but we still kept in touch. Carol was a very fun person and loved her children passionately. She will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her.

    Our 3 kids referred to her as ‘Grandma Carol’. She never forgot to put Halloween treats in the mailbox for them every year. She always had treats for the dogs too. Our deepest sympathy to her family.

    Deepest sympathy to the Darmogray families. Carol was the kindest person. Many memories of talking with her over the years. I’m sure she will be deeply missed . May she rest in peace. Love and prayers to you all.

    So sorry for your loss. Your mom was always a great lady and always willing to let me tag along with Jackie for anything we were into. Always a Mom of us Kipling gangsters!!!

    There were many stories about Carol but these are a few that I thought would be of interest.
    Carol & I were assigned to gather up the scraps of wood inside and outside the house on Penrose that were laying around from the guys, dad, Eddy, Bill & Uncle John while cutting the lumber.
    Carol spent a lot time at Grandma Kayko’s helping her in the kitchen and out in the garden planting, weeding, watering and picking the fruits and veggies in the early fall.
    The letters she wrote me while I was in the military, keeping me up to date on the family happenings.
    The visits to Gladstone with the kids & working on the house.
    I remember on one visit while Carol & Sarah took the kids to the store, I decided to clean up the kitchen after breakfast. When they returned Carol got mad because I didn’t put things back in the same place. She told me that the kitchen was off limits, only show up to eat.
    Finally, when she came down to help mom get things organized, after dad passed away & to move to assisted living. That was a great help because ma was being uncooperative.
    Carol, Me & Sarah will miss you very much. Especially the phone calls & the cards with pictures of the grandkids.
    Be at peace for you have gone to your reward.
    Bob & Sarah Paul
