Carol Burns

Carol A. (Krawczyk, Dibble) Burns passed away on April 8, 2024, at Valley Health Services in Herkimer, after courageously battling a prolonged illness, surrounded by her loving family.
Carol was born on August 7, 1945, in Wenatchee, WA, to the late Ignatius Krawczyk and Dorothy (Roe) Krawczyk. She graduated from Ilion High School in 1963 and furthered her education at Utica School of Commerce.
Carol's passions in life were as varied as they were vibrant. She found joy in watching movies, game shows, and the comedy of Jeff Dunham. Her love for the Hallmark Channel was unmatched, and she spent countless hours enjoying its heartwarming stories. However, it was in the kitchen where Carol truly flourished, sharing her baking expertise and creating cherished memories with her loved ones.
Left to cherish her memory are her three children, Douglas R. Dibble Sr. and his wife, Christine of Frankfort, Randy Dibble and his wife, Elena of Ilion and Vicky C. and her husband Gary Palmer of South Glens Falls, NY. Carol is also survived by her two sisters, Estella and her husband, Allan Stinson and Patricia and her husband, Gary Morse, both of Ilion. Her legacy lives on through her two beloved granddaughters, Madison Dibble and Sophia Dibble as well as numerous nieces, nephews and dear friends.
In accordance with Carol's wishes, a private funeral service will be held to honor her life and memory.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the compassionate care of Whiter-Hendrix Funeral Home, located at 100 Otsego St., Ilion, NY 13357. For further assistance, please contact (315) 894-3781.
