Carole Sheetz

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Carole A. Sheetz, who left us peacefully on March 17, 2025, at the age of 79. Born in South Plainfield, NJ, to the late Edgar and Elizabeth (Benward) Mentzel, Carole built a life filled with love and dedication.

Carole was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who brought warmth and joy to everyone she encountered. She was the beloved wife of Larry L. Sheetz for 44 wonderful years until his passing in 2022. Together, they created a home filled with laughter, kindness, and unwavering support for their family. Carole took immense pride in her daughters, Tammy and Tracy, and her love for them was boundless. Carole's family always came first, and she cherished the time spent with them. It was in their company that she found her deepest joy.

As a skilled weaver, Carole spent 30 years working for Fabric Development, and most recently at Mutual Industries in Red Hill, from which she retired in 2022.

She is survived by her two daughters, Tammy Younger and Tracy LaSalla and husband, Michael; four grandchildren, Ryan Younger and wife, Colleen, Alan Fichter, Travis Fichter and wife, Jessica, and Elizabeth Fichter; five great-grandchildren, Bailey, Alan Jr., Landon, Ezra and Ivan Fichter; and a granddaughter in law, Heather Younger.

In addition to her husband, she is predeceased by a daughter, Faith Loy; and two grandchildren, Brandon Younger and Sara Fichter.

Services will be private at the convenience of the family. Online condolences may be offered at www.mannslonakerfunerahome.com.
