Carol Bigos, 68, of West Springfield, passed away peacefully Saturday, November 7 at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Springfield, MA to the late Carl and Patricia Schebel. Carol was predeceased by her siblings; Donald, Donna, Laurie, and Carl Schebel. Carol grew up in Agawam, MA and lived in West Springfield for over 40 years and was a member of the Agawam United Methodist Church. Carol spent her career of over 30 years caring for patients as a nurses aide at the former Riverdale Garden and Bear Mountain Nursing Homes in West Springfield. Her compassion and caring nature were reflected in the work she did and the love she shared with those around her.

Above all else, Carol cherished her family. She loved spending time with her husband, children, and grandchildren, making memories that would last a lifetime. She especially enjoyed family vacations, gathering with friends, and spending time camping with her many camping friends. It was the simple moments spent together, surrounded by the people she loved, that brought her the greatest happiness.

Carol leaves behind her loving husband, John; her daughter, Candice, and her husband, Thip; her son, Jonathan; and her two cherished grandchildren, Tanner and Kaliann, who brought so much joy to her life. She also leaves behind her sister, Debbie, and her husband, Harold, along with several nieces and nephews, great nieces and great great nieces and nephews and many dear friends.

Carol will be remembered for the love she gave, the memories she created, and the special place she held in the hearts of everyone who knew her.

Though her passing leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of those who loved her, her memory will live on through the stories shared, the laughter remembered, and the countless moments that will forever be treasured.

She may be gone from our sight, but she will never be gone from our hearts.

There will be a Celebration of Life scheduled at a later date. Toomey-O’Brien Funeral Home has been entrusted with all arrangements. Memorial donations may be made to Cancer House of Hope, 1999 Westfield Street, West Springfield, MA 01089.
