Carol Courtney
Carol Long Courtney, 77, of Cardington, Ohio, formerly of Harmony, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Sept. 22, 2019.
Born on Jan. 16, 1942, in Slippery Rock, Carol was the daughter of the late Charles Oscar and Bernice (McDevitt) Long.
She graduated from Slippery Rock High School in 1960, and then married the love of her life, James “Jim” Lee Courtney. She and Jim were happily married for 45 years, until his death in 2005.
As a couple, they were devoted to raising their four children and setting a godly example for their family by serving the Lord and ministering to others.
Carol enjoyed helping her husband manage their orchard when they lived in Harmony and she used her gift of hospitality to bless all who visited. She especially enjoyed making special memories with her grandchildren.
She used her talent for quilting to make beautiful quilts to share with family and friends and to donate to the Flying J Ranch, as well as to Heartbeat of Morrow County, which is a pro-life ministry.
She was a faithful member of Grace Baptist Church in Marion, Ohio, and was active in the quilting ministry there, which provides quilts for recovering patients and nursing home residents.
Carol is survived by her daughter, Linda Hall and her husband, Ryland, of Lewis Center, Ohio; and three sons, Rick Courtney and his wife, Pam, of Monroe, Va., George Courtney and his wife, Rose, of Piney Flat, Tenn., and Mike Courtney and his wife, Leanne, of Mount Gilead, Ohio.
She is also survived by six grandchildren, Courtney (Mike) Iazzi, Matthew Hall, Noah Courtney, Graham Courtney, Monica (Sam) Walker and Victoria (Ben) Smith; as well as three great-grandchildren, Riley Iazzi, Matthias Walker and Isaiah Smith.
In addition, she is survived by her brother, Duane Long and his wife, Jo; her sister, Marilyn Peterson; and her sisters-in-law, Betty Long, Joan Courtney, Ruth Ann (Gary) Horne and Judy Courtney.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, George and Ruth Courtney; her brother, Bill Long; her brothers-in-law, George Courtney Jr., Jack Courtney and Tom Courtney; and her nephew, Jeffrey Horne.
