Carol France

December 6, 1960 — July 21, 2024

Carol Jean France (nee Racansky), 63, of Roselle, passed away peacefully July 21, 2024 at home surrounded by her family. Loving wife of Robert; devoted mother of Tiffany (Jake) Rickelman, Nicole (Chris) Banakis, Ashley (Tony) Schiavone, and Sara (Joshua) Crow; proud grandmother to Abbie, Brandon, Colton, Evie, Dexter and Robin.

Carol would want to be remembered for her humor, kindness, and love for travel. She lived a life of charity helping rescue countless dogs via fostering and transport, in addition to her own furry companions. She was a dedicated volunteer of Kiwanis for local and international children.

Celebrate the life of Carol at one of her favorite places.

Come as you are and enjoy time with family and friends. Take advantage of the activities available at the beach: swimming, boat/kayak rentals, mini-golf and more!

This is what Carol requested: to embrace life instead of mourn loss.

Her Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 24, 2024 from 11:00 am – 3:30 pm at Fish Lake Beach Campground 32223 N. US Hwy 12, Volo, IL 60073. Food and light refreshments will be served. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Camp Independence at www.ymcachicago.org/independence
