Carol Louise Wienclaw

Carol Louise Wienclaw (née Marks), 82, passed away peacefully at home Thursday, April 23, 2026. Carol was a graduate of West Tech High School. She later met the love of her life, Leonard Wienclaw, and together they built a devoted and loving family, sharing 62 wonderful years of marriage. She served her community with dedication as a bank teller at Dollar Bank for more than 15 years, also, serving as president of her Homeowners Association, volunteering in the gift shop at Medina General Hospital, and giving her time to St. Martin of Tours Church.
