Carol Lynn Haderski's Obituary
Carol Lynn Haderski passed away peacefully on February 24, 2026, surrounded by the love and warmth of her family — just as she lived her life, at the center of those she cherished most. She shared 52 golden years alongside her beloved late husband John, building a life filled with devotion, laughter, and enduring love.
Carol was a devoted mother to her daughters Karen Leone (John), Linda Jaksic (Rob), and Lisa Haderski (Dan). She was a loving Nana who adored her precious grandchildren — Cassie (Corey), Lindsay (Ben), Megan, Carly (Chad), Jacob (Jess), Zachary (Lauren), and Nicholas (Tisbeth). She took great pride in watching them grow into wonderful men and women, celebrating their milestones, cheering them on, and loving them unconditionally.
Carol loved Jesus and the Blessed Mother with all her heart. Her faith was steady and strong, and she found comfort in praying the rosary and keeping her family and others in her prayers.
She loved playing cards, especially 500 Rummy, where her playful spirit and competitive side always made the game more fun. Time spent around the card table became some of the family’s most cherished memories.
Carol was a big fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers and rarely missed a game. She also loved Barry Manilow, and his music was the soundtrack to many happy family moments. When his songs were playing, she was smiling right along.
Carol leaves behind a legacy of faith, family, humor, and love. Though she will be deeply missed, the joy she brought into the world will live on in every story shared, every song played, and every smile that carries her memory forward.
