FRIEL-GIARDINA - Caroline M. Of Lancaster, NY, entered into peaceful rest January 20th, 2021. Loving mother of Patricia J. (Terry P.) Fisher; Joseph (Melissa) Friel, Edward (Lynn) Friel, Maureen Foy and the late John Friel and Linda Zimpfer; cherished grandmother of Lisa (Michael) Jakubowicz, Andrea (Timothy) Klimtzak, Melinda (Kurt) Knoell, Daniel Friel, Leann (Kevin) Lapis, James (Meagan) Zimpfer, Michael (Lauren) Friel, Amy (Christopher) Betz, Brian Friel, Taryn Friel, Alissa Foy and David (Samantha) Foy; beloved great-grandmother of Kara, Alex, Jackson, Wesley, Harley, Aidan, Sterling, Ellington, Jocelyn and the late Jakob; also survived by brothers, sisters and many nieces and nephews. No prior visitation. When we can be together and comfort each other, we will have a service with an announcement. Our mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother (Grammie), was an astounding individual with unwavering love for her family, that she genuinely cherished more than life itself. She has always been an amazing, strong and independent woman, who lived a life filled with laughter, tears and unforgettably beautiful moments. She formed friendships, created countless, amazing and wonderful memories through the years, and who found her deepest joy in gathering family together including our annual gardening festivities. This was one of her passions, as she has always loved being surrounded by the beauty of flowers. She always said "Don't Forget Me" and she will never be forgotten, as she will be held close to our hearts and endlessly missed.
