Carol Ann Ives

March 12, 1946 — May 30, 2010

Carol A. (Fitch) Ives, 64, of N. Windham, passed away at home on Sunday, May 30, 2010 after a four year valiant fight with brain cancer. She was born on March 12, 1946 to the late Charles Fitch and the late Oneta (Wardlow) Miles in Indianapolis, IN. She married the love of her life, Milton E. Ives, Sr., on April 4, 1980 and the two just celebrated their 30 years together. The family from that union includes seven children and their families, Susan Roarabaugh of North Windham, Milton Ives of Bolton, Jeffrey Leon of Carthage, IL, John Leon of IA, Melissa Cowen of Willington, Nicholas Leon of North Windham, and Lisa Leon Burns of Allentown, PA. Carol was unconditionally devoted to her husband and her family and was well-known and loved for her quick wit and the love that surrounded it. Carol's tenderness, caring and deep heart could fool you into thinking she wasn't tough...until you put that to the test. She ran her household with the softness of a mother's love and the strength of responsibility for the well-being of her kids. Besides her husband and children, she is also survived by her sister and brothers, Linda Wolfe, Charles Fitch, Larry Fitch, and Terry Fitch, all of Florida. Carol was an avid breeder of Great Danes, some of them winning national awards. Her Great Dane babies include Zeke, Cita, Deacon, Murphy, Becky Sue, Black Jack, Sparkle, and Clifford. Carol always appreciated the support given by her great friend Sue Long that allowed her to continue attending dog shows when she wasn't able to go by herself. There will be no calling hours and services will be at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in memory of Carol to The Great Dane Club of America Charitable Trust, 2281 Alton Road, Deltona, FL 32738, . The Potter Funeral Home, Willimantic assisted with arrangements. Please visit www.potterfuneralhome.com for online memorial guestbook.
