Carol (Pugliese) Budzick

Age 78

Beloved wife of Ted (deceased); loving mother of Tracey Hayburn (Paul), Jennifer Holz, and Jeffrey Budzick; dear grandmother of Lindsay, Jace, Elena, and Emily; dearest sister of Dennis Pugliese; dear aunt and devoted friend of many.

We will remember her not by her medical challenges, but by her radiant positivity and infectious smile. We find comfort knowing she is now at peace, likely sitting on the boat with Ted, dancing to her favorite music, or holding a winning hand of cards.
