Carol A. Litmer, age 81 of Enochsburg, passed away Wednesday, October 20, 2021. Born March 22, 1940 in Covington, Kentucky, she is the daughter of Loretta (Nee: Anthe) and William Fisher and was a graduate of New Point High School. Carol was class president and valedictorian of her 1958 graduating class. She married Dan Litmer October 10, 1959 at St. John’s Church in Enochsburg. They were a great dancing team and most Saturday nights you could find them on the dance floor of the Eagles Club in Batesville with their friends. She worked at JAWACDAH Farm and the Fireside Inn for many years.
Carol had a love for animals, especially horses and dogs. Pets’ Pal the horse and Velvet the terrier were her favorites. She raised Boston Terriers for years and spoiled many puppies over that time. Other interests included she and Dan frequenting tractor shows where Carol would shop for bargains at the flea markets. She loved history, especially the civil war and the ancient Egyptian pyramids and watched countless hours of the History Channel. Intrigued by mysteries, she also watched Forensic Files in addition to reruns of the western Gunsmoke. Carol was quite proud of the rose bush in front of her house she nurtured, which through the years has become as large as it is beautiful. According to her family, recounting stories from the past always put a smile on her face. They also teased that her family job was to worry, she served as Dan’s caretaker/warden depending on who you asked and that she was a black belt ninja with a fly swatter….and she wasn’t afraid to use it on the boys.
Carol is survived by her sons Scott (Elena) and Chris (Kimberly) Litmer of Enochsburg and grandchildren Konstantin Paramonov and Luci Grubb. In addition to her husband and parents, she is also preceded in death by her son William Litmer and sisters Jeanette Litmer and Margie Litmer.
Visitation will be Saturday, October 30th, from 9 – 11 a.m. at St. Catherine of Siena Church in Enochsburg. Funeral services follow at 11 a.m. with Rev. Bill Ehalt officiating and burial in the church cemetery. The family requests memorials to the New Point Volunteer Fire Department or Our Hospice. For online condolences go to www.weigelfh.com.
