Carol Ann (Farrell) Franc

Carol A. Franc, 86, of McCandless, passed away on December 4, 2025. She was the daughter of the late Carl and Zelma Farrell. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 58 years, Victor G. Franc, and her brother, Richard Farrell.

She is survived by her seven children: Bryan (Angie) Franc, Christopher (Sue) Franc, Kevin (Ambur Murphy) Franc, Terri (Jerome) Fancsali-Franc, Marlene Pena, Ashley (Jamie) Palkovic, and Karen Franc; 11 grandchildren; and a host of great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Carol was a graduate of Mount Pleasant High School and continued her education at Seton Hill University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in music. She went on to teach music and English in the Connellsville School District. Carol and her husband, Victor, shared a remarkable legacy of love and compassion, proudly fostering 21 children throughout their life together.

She adored her cats, cherished classical music—especially the works of her favorite composer, Sergei Rachmaninoff—and enjoyed taking spontaneous weekend road trips with her husband, never needing a final destination. Above all, she treasured every moment spent with her family and was devote in her Catholic faith.
