Carol A. Leyland

Carol A. (Gall) Leyland, 82, of York, Pa., entered rest Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020, at SpiriTrust Lutheran Home in Shrewsbury, Pa.

Carol was born March 8, 1938, the daughter of George and Irene (Bachman) Gall of Butler.

She worked for many years at Continental Insurance. After retiring, she found her passion for helping people. She worked part-time at The Byrnes Health Education Center, was a longtime member of Women’s Friendship Group (Welcome Wagon) and was a regular volunteer with the American Red Cross.

She believed strongly in giving back to her community, loved talking to anyone, and made many friends along the way.

Carol loved to travel. Bus trips were her favorite and it didn’t matter where she was going!

Carol was a loving mother and grandmother. She is survived by three daughters, Rebecca Leyland of York, Elizabeth (Leyland) Cook and her husband, David Cook, of Dallastown, Pa., and Susan Leyland of York; two grandchildren, Kathryn Erney and Tyson Erney; and three siblings, Marvin Gall, Mary (Gall) Scott and David Gall, all of Butler.

She was preceded in death by her husband, John Leyland.

A special thank you to the many caregivers at SpiriTrust Lutheran Home in Shrewsbury, Pa., who provided our mother with love and comfort when we could not be with her.
