Carol Lee (Henkel) Jagodzinski

Carol L. (Henkel) Jagodzinski was called home to her Lord on September 21, 2023. Carol was born in Toledo, Ohio, on March 31, 1933, to Henry and Pearl (Kosmowski) Henkel. Carol graduated from DeVilbiss High School in 1951. In 1954, she married the love of her life, Jim Jagodzinski, and they enjoyed 54 loving years together, until his death in 2008. Carol worked as a legal secretary for many years, and also enjoyed volunteer work in Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, and in grade school and high school activities in which her three boys participated. Carol and Jim loved to travel throughout the United States and Canada, Europe, and especially several trips throughout England. Carol was a life-long member of Zion Lutheran church and active on various committees there; she was a participating organist at Zion for over 60 years. Carol was a loving mother, and a proud Nana, and her family meant the world to her.
