Carol Marie

Baribeault

Carol Marie Baribeault, age 73, of Vineland, New Jersey, passed away on Thursday, November 5, 2026, after a long and brave fight with severe pain and illness. Born on December 1, 1952, in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, Carol carried the strength of her beginnings with her throughout her life, facing hardship with quiet courage and a deep devotion to the people she loved.

Carol was the daughter of Marie Allabaugh and John Oliver, and her life was shaped by the values of hard work, kindness and family. Those who knew her understood that she met life with steady determination and a generous heart. She was someone who did not give in easily, even when facing great difficulty. Her courage was evident not only in the way she endured illness, but in the way she lived each day with kindness and care for those around her.

Family was at the center of Carol’s life. She was a loving mother to her daughter, Jeanna Whittick, and a proud grandmother to Alexis Whittick, and great-grandmother to Aiden Whittick, Delilah Carlson, and Conor Carlson. Her love for her family was one of the most important parts of who she was, and it showed in the attention, care, and devotion she gave so naturally. She leaves behind memories of a woman who was dependable, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in the bonds that mattered most to her.

Carol’s kindness was one of the qualities that stood out most clearly to those around her. She had a warm presence and a way of making others feel cared for. Along with that kindness came a strong work ethic and a family-focused nature that guided much of her life. She understood the value of showing up, doing what was needed, and standing by the people she loved. These traits, steady and sincere, became part of the legacy she leaves behind.

Though her passing brings sorrow, Carol’s life also leaves behind a lasting example of resilience and love. She faced great pain with bravery, and in doing so, showed the strength of her spirit. Her family will carry forward the memory of her devotion, her gentleness, and the quiet dignity with which she lived. The love she gave will remain with them, held in the stories they share and the moments they continue to treasure.

She is survived by her husband Lewis Horan, daughter, Jeanna Whittick, son-in-law, Chaz Whittick, granddaughter, Alexis Whittick, great-grandchildren, Aiden Whittick, Delilah Carlson, Conor Carlson, brothers John Oliver, Hank Oliver, sister-in-law, Sharon Oliver, stepsons Todd Horan, Mike Horan, grandson-in-law, Steve Carlson and 6 nieces, who brought joy and meaning to her days. The bond she shared with her family was a lasting part of who she was, and those who knew her will hold onto the love she gave and the presence she kept in their lives.

Carol will be remembered with affection and gratitude by all who knew and loved her. Her life was one of courage, hard work, and deep family bonds, and her memory will continue to be a source of comfort to those she leaves behind.
