Carol, known as “Tuff” to close family and friends was one of the bravest women ever. A two-time Cancer survivor, she endured several other health issues along the way. She would always say, “I’ll be OK” and never wanted anyone to worry about her problems because, “They all have enough to deal with”. She was the rock that held her family together and loved them so very much.
Friends will be received at the Boal Funeral Home, Westernport on Friday May 25th from 5 to 8 PM. A funeral service will be held on May 26th at 11:00 AM with Rev. Charles Winebrenner officiating.
Interment will be in Sunset Memorial Park.
The Metz family would like to thank Dr. Gaon, Dr. Welik and the Western Maryland Regional Medical Center ICU and High Level Care for their kindness and compassion.
