Fairport – passed away peacefully on July 1, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 58. She is predeceased by her parents, Leo and Frances Lill, her birth mother, MaryAnn Urtel, her brother, Walter Buck, and her sister, Toni Dixson. Carol is survived by her devoted husband of 29 years, Brian Benedict, her loving daughters, Brianna and Ava Benedict, her brothers and sister, Dale Buck, Janice (Tim) Forster, Paul Urtel, her birth father, Richard Urtel, her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Eileen and William Benedict, and sister-in-law, Jeanette (David) Levesque, as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Carol attended Nazareth Academy, Class of 1979, and directly entered the workforce. She found her passion serving others at UR dermatology, Vega Meda Spa and Vitalized Med Spa. She received multiple Strong Star Certificates of Appreciation in recognition for her dedication, service and compassion to others.

Carol enjoyed spending childhood summers at Sodus Point, a love she later shared with her husband through quiet strolls along the bluff.

She devoted much of her time and energy supporting her daughters’ interest in cheerleading as an organizer, fundraiser and coach. One could always count on her for advice about cosmetics or shopping as she had a talent for makeup and hairstyles.

Mostly, Carol will be remembered as someone of keen intelligence and ready wit.
