Carol Lueschen-Symons Georgulis, 79, of Rostraver Township, passed away peacefully to go home to be with her Lord on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2020. She was born on Dec. 22, 1940. Originally from Illinois, Carol married John Symons of Rostraver, where they moved to and started their family. She was employed by the Illinois Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation and Fox Grocery Company (now SuperValu) in Belle Vernon. For nearly 50 years, she was a member of Faith Lutheran Church, where she devoted her time singing in the choir, was a member of the Women’s Missionary Society, assisted with the children’s VBS and numerous other church events. Carol was a loving and caring wife, mother and grandmother. Her joy was her grandchildren, whom she cherished and adored. She also loved spending time with her grandchildren (including many sleepovers!), working in her flower gardens and making arts and crafts. She really enjoyed watching her favorite bird, the cardinal. She is survived by her two sons and their families, Chris (Vicky) Symons and Dakota and Wyatt; Kurt (Darlene) Symons and Rachael, Jessie and Hannah; stepchildren, Annette Boyer and Michael and Patrick; Brian (Jennifer) Georgulis and Paul (Elise) Georgulis, Anastasia (Travis) Goodick and Alex Seiler; Chris (Amy) Georgulis and Noah and Luke; two great-grandchildren; her sister, Karen (George) Lewis; sister-in-law, Nancy Lueschen; many cousins, nieces and nephews; and her closest friend, Karen Fao, who was like a daughter to her.

Symons; her dear aunt-in-law, Mary (Lib) Elizabeth Jenion; son-in-law, Mike Boyer; and her second husband, James Georgulis. Friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at JAMES C.
