Carol May Bedell (nee Eavy), of Midland, a devoted and caring wife of 36 years, loving mother and grandmother, and a warmhearted and generous friend to all she touched, passed away far too soon on August 24, 2019.
Born March 13, 1951 in Flint, Michigan to Kenneth and Shirley (Andrews) Eavy, Carol graduated from Flushing High School in 1969 and earned an LPN degree from Genesee Community College. She worked for 24 years at McLaren Hospital as a nurse. Carol married Wayne Bedell in Flint on December 10, 1983.
Carol will be remembered for her enduring faith, limitless love and incredible devotion to family and friends, unending thoughtfulness and generosity, and passion for sharing her love of gardening, baking, and sewing with her adoring grandchildren.
Surviving are her beloved husband Dr. Wayne Bedell and four daughters: Michelle Castro (Rosindo) of Holland, MI, Heather Hettler (Justin) of Rockford, IL, Dr. Sarah Wasserman (Donald), of Portage, MI, Dr. Alyse Bedell (Stephen Buskirk) of Chicago, IL, and her adored cat Sweetie. Also surviving are her six cherished grandchildren: Elijah, Jadon and Ella Hettler, Olivia Castro, and Jonah and Joshua Wasserman. Carol is survived by one brother, Jerry (Reneé), sisters Kay McLaren and Janet (Phil) Donnelly, and several greatly adored nieces and nephews.
