Carol France Obituary
Carol Jean France (nee Racansky), 63, of Roselle, passed away peacefully July 21, 2024 at home surrounded by her family. Loving wife of Robert; devoted mother of Tiffany (Jake) Rickelman, Nicole (Chris) Banakis, Ashley (Tony) Schiavone, and Sara (Joshua) Crow; proud grandmother to Abbie, Brandon, Colton, Evie, Dexter and Robin.
Carol would want to be remembered for her humor, kindness, and love for travel. She lived a life of charity helping rescue countless dogs via fostering and transport, in addition to her own furry companions. She was a dedicated volunteer of Kiwanis for local and international children.
There will be a Celebration of Life in late August. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Camp Independence at https://www.ymcachicago.org/independence/donate-to-camp-independence/

I just learned of Carol´s death and I´m heartbroken. She was a kind and loving person who would do anything she could to help anyone in need. I´m going to miss her immensely. We lived across the street from one another and I´ve known her since she was a little girl.
