Carol Horan Sinon passed away at home with family on Friday, August 12, 2022. Born on June 1, 1942, she was the daughter of Kieran W and Kathleen (Egan) Horan. She was predeceased by her son Michael F. Sinon III, her husband Michael Sinon Jr., and sisters Rita Leonard, Nancy Joyce, and MaryAlice Kirkland. 

    Carol was the light in the window that let everyone know they were welcome and home. She was the flame in the hearth that made everyone feel warm and safe. She was the spark that helped re-ignite everyone else's fires when they were down to embers. She was incredibly intelligent, and she kept her weekly scrabble club (and everyone who loved her), on their toes. 

    Those who were blessed enough to witness her fight to survive and her ability to overcome and thrive despite hardship, looked to her with awe. Her strength and determination were unparalleled, and she walked through life with courage, grace, and a healthy dose of sass.  

    She had a mind like a steel trap. She kept track of everyone's families, pasts, triumphs, heartbreaks and current events. She was the one who always kept the secret you told her that one time. She loved large family gatherings surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She had many treasured friends and was an active participant throughout her life in many social groups and events, and clubs like the Red Hat Chicks. She enjoyed trivial pursuit and dominoes and board games. She knew the best part of all of those games was when the whole table got to laughing so hard they could barely breathe, and everyone left feeling lighter, with gratitude for each other in their hearts. 

    Carol is survived by her five daughters: Rita Barrett, Joanne Boulais, Sheilah Paindiris (Peter), Maura Hackett (Bill), Katie DeHart (Eric), her grandchildren: Alissa Barrett, Mariah Jouver (Gary), Savannah Barrett, Shane Boulais (Erin), Mollie Boulais, Myranda Laska, Alexandra Paindiris (Sean), Evan Paindiris, Kaleigh Hackett (Jonny), Valerie Hackett, Tori Hackett (Cesar), Riley Hackett, Joshua DeHart, Emily DeHart and great-grandchildren Graidy Culleny, Connor and Elizabeth Boulais, Malcolm and Warren Jouver, Emma Branco, and soon to arrive Baby Fowler.
