Carol Ebbeling

Carol B. Ebbeling, 90, a lifelong resident of Whitinsville passed away on Thursday, October 9, 2025 after a short residence at Cornerstone Assisted Living in Milford.

Carol was the wife of the late Kenneth Ebbeling for 70 happy years. Carol loved being Ken’s wife and soulmate, and they shared a lifetime together enjoying each other’s company in all they did and raising a daughter, Lynn. Carol took pride in her home and enjoyed reading, cooking, knitting, crocheting and being a mother. She will be remembered by friends and family for her sweet smile, her sparkling blue eyes, and her kindness. As a sales clerk at Louis Fashion Shop and Bakers Department Store, she enjoyed making many friendships that lasted for years.

Carol leaves her daughter, Lynn Paresky, and son-in-law, Lee Paresky of Douglas. Carol and Ken were happiest when their family was together, spending time with Lynn and Lee at their home in Douglas and taking short trips. They also loved spending time with Lynn and Lee’s dogs over the years. Carol often referred to herself as “Grammy” when talking about them.

Those who knew Carol were always surprised to learn that she loved riding on the back of Ken’s motorcycle with him, riding around the local area, going out to eat, and going to their favorite spots at the Cape, New Hampshire and Vermont.

Carol was the daughter of the late Charles and Theresa (Dufries) Willard and the sister of Charles, Jr. and Vernon Willard who predeceased her.

A graveside funeral service will be held on Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at 11 AM in Pine Grove Cemetery, Linwood Ave. in Whitinsville.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, MA/NH chapter, 320 Nevada Street, Suite 201, Newton, MA 02459.
