Carol Sue Heil, age 78, of West Chester, Ohio, passed away peacefully on May 29, 2026.

Born on April 14, 1948, Carol grew up in Green Hills, Ohio, and spent her life devoted to her family and friends. She was a devoted wife, cherished daughter, loving sister and aunt, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and faithful friend whose kindness touched the lives of many.

Carol dedicated 19 years of service to Meijer. She enjoyed traveling to Tennessee, collecting Barbies and nutcrackers, shopping for her family, but her favorite thing was spending time with those she loved.

Carol was known for loving her family fiercely. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the center of her world, and she took every opportunity to make them feel loved and special.

She will be deeply missed and forever cherished by all who knew and loved her.
