WELLSVILLE - Carol Ann (Stevens) Fanton went to the Lord
Saturday (Feb. 17, 2018) after battling a lengthy illness at Geisinger Medical
Center in Danville, Pa.
She was the daughter of Marilyn (Thorton) Osgood and Donald
Stevens. She was born on September 2, 1973.
Carol was a cheerleader, played gymnastics and did swimming
at Immaculate Conception School. In high school she taught young children to
swim and was a lifeguard at the Wellsville pool. She played softball, tennis
and dived on the swim team. After high school she attended Alfred State College
and obtained a degree in Medical Records and Business Administration. She
worked at Jones Memorial Hospital, in Dr. Crandall's office, and at Otis
Eastern Services, Inc. She substitute taught in Wellsville where she also
worked as a teacher assistant. She was so proud to coach the diving team.
Carol loved riding horses, Kate and Jack; loved her labs,
Bailey and Sidney, hunting pheasants with her dad in the fall, and spending
many hours at Keuka Lake at the family cottage (Aunt Ruth's Place). She spent
many hours helping with the Balloon Rally Fundraiser (setting up, selling
tickets, etc.) and in July she helped her special friends chase the balloon
Child's Play.
She is survived by her parents, loving best friend, Jeremy
Burrell, and her daughter, Allison Ann, whom she loved more than life itself.
She is also survived by her family in Arizona, Aunt Carolyn Searls, Aunt
Jerilynn and Uncle Mike Pfeilsticker, and their sons Mike Jr. and Kevin. She is
also survived by cousins, Gretchen Fortner and her sons, Josh, Clayton, Brian
and Tim, and cousins Hans and Doreen Arnold and their children, Matt, Anna and
